Williams, Andy - Joanne Lyrics
Her name was Joanne, and she lived in a meadow by a pond.
And she touch'd me for a moment,
with a look that spoke to me of her sweet love.
Then the woman that she was drove her on with desperation,
and I saw as she went a most hopeless situation.
She was only a girl, I know that will, and still I could not see;
That the hold she had was much stronger than the love she had for me.
But staying with her, and my little bit of wisdom,
broke down her desires like a light thru a prism;
into yellows and blues and a tune that I could not have sung.
Tho' the essence is gone,
I have no tear to cry for her
and my only tho't of her is kind.
Her name was Joanne, and she lived in a meadow by a pond.
And she touch'd me for a moment,
with a look that spoke to me of her sweet love.
Then the woman that she was drove her on with desperation,
and I saw as she went a most hopeless situation.
For Joanne, and the man, and the time that made them both wrong.
For Joanne, and the man, and the time, that made them both wrong.

Williams, Andy Joanne Comments
Andy Williams' stylish rendition of Mike Nesmith's Joanne.
Perfunctory. I wish he’d given it some emotion...
Andy did a fine job with this!
The tempo is too rushed on this! It causes the song to lose its haunting quality that Michael Nesmith created!
Miss you Andy. R.I.P.
He did have a good TV show though.
I like Mike Nesmith's version better, it was a great try by Andy Williams, sounds too Las Vegas. 😊
That's right. This figures. The Monkees were just about gonna be the biggest act of all time, but the friggin' group fell apart, didn't it.
Dig that green suit.
Nice version of a great song!
Beautiful
magnifique . as ever...
Some songs are best not copied and this is one of them IMHO....Nobody could do better than Mike, this is a very hard song to sing....
My name is Joanne 😍😍😍😍
Let me sing this too you Joanne
Its great \(^-^)/
Wow! Wonderful version of one of my favorite long-lost songs from the early seventies. Thank you for this.
Mike's "twang" is the key ingredient..but Andy Williams was good!
Joanne , a kind and gentle heart
Joanne, , a kind and gentle heart......
Beautiful song, and topical at the time, which is impressive, but Andy is almost too fine a singer to sing this. Need some grit in there!
Must've been St. Patrick's day.
Good stuff man.......funny!
Love the lime green suit/tie combo!!!
Kudos to Andy for even trying this song. It's way off from his strengths as a singer, but he knew it was a great song. A classy guy.
Gelezinis Vilkas I personally think he did really great!
This is nice but check out Mike Nesmith and The First National Band's version of this.
Briza Ac - I have loved this song from my teen years. One day, just for fun, I wrote a movie (in my mind, of course) based on the song. Every now and then I listen to Mike's video and the unwritten movie streaks through my mind as recall the storyline of my own creation. Who knows, if it's a hard winter, I may get the urge to put it on paper,
Mary Hill - Put it on paper!!!!
Loved it back then when folks of Andy's generation recognized the talents of the Artists of my generation and would take a shot at some of the songs that those damn long hairs composed . Andy, as well as having great vocal talent , was just a passionate Audiophile and I loved his Christmas Specials .
I knew Joanne, maybe not this one but a special lady.
Ron Bates and
RIP Andy Williams , I loved ya ......
Good version, though hard to beat the original
Too fast he was just singing mike sung it from his heart you know the song was about Joanne Worley
Has anyone a studio (not live) recording of this song by Andy Williams?
Love this song!! Thanks for sharing.
Simply Great....
All your posts are great as I listen to them all here in Thailand
I played this record many times when it first came out many years ago and it's still one of my favourate Andy Williams records - GREAT & Thank you for letting me hear it again - Bob
RIP andy Williams. I bought the audio vinyl album and always dreamed to see Andy perform cos we could not afford a b/w television set then. Now I see it thanks yootami.
I've always loved this song by the former Monkee, Mike Nesmith, but I had no idea Andy Williams had ever sung this. How cool! Thanks so much for the upload!
This is NOT an easy song to sing. Andy nailed it! One of the truly great voices!
Andy is one of the best there is.His smooth,effortless delivery.I have most of his albums.And Andy will always be at the top.
So soothing listening to his voice. A terrific antidote to stress.
I looked for this song for so long that I had almost given up. It's been 41 years since I'd heard it last. And the woman it reminds me of has long been gone from my presence but not from my heart. Thank you.
my favourite version of one of my very favourite songs
