Joan Baez
Joan Baez · Joan Baez
Out in the wide world Kitty, pretty Kitty
Out in the wide world Kitty, far across the sea
My Kitty sailed away from me
To strange and distant lands
And when I asked a goodbye kiss
She said, "Oh no, shake hands"
Out in the wide world Kitty, pretty Kitty
Out in the wide world Kitty, far across the sea
When Kitty left she said she'd write
He promised her the same
But his address somehow got lost
And she forgot his name
Out in the wide world Kitty, pretty Kitty
Out in the wide world Kitty, far across the sea
Out in the wide world Kitty, far across the sea
My Kitty sailed away from me
To strange and distant lands
And when I asked a goodbye kiss
She said, "Oh no, shake hands"
Out in the wide world Kitty, pretty Kitty
Out in the wide world Kitty, far across the sea
When Kitty left she said she'd write
He promised her the same
But his address somehow got lost
And she forgot his name
Out in the wide world Kitty, pretty Kitty
Out in the wide world Kitty, far across the sea
About Joan Baez
"Joan Baez" shows how a single track can carry a listener toward Joan Baez's larger sound. Rather than relying on unsupported chart or album claims, a useful blurb can describe the recording in terms of feel: the shape of its hook, the pacing of the arrangement, and the attitude suggested by the title. Songs with concise titles often work because they leave room for the performance to define the meaning. In that sense, "Joan Baez" is best treated as a focused listening point, a track whose value comes from mood, replayability, and the artist's recognizable presence.
