Eugene Pratt

I received a request from someone who dropped by my site. He's been searching for the lyrics from Mason Proffit's "Eugene Pratt". If anyone knows of some obscure site that might have it let me know. It's off the album "Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream".

I could sing it to him...but he probably wouldn't like that.

I was born and raised on the Oklahoma plains. I tried to keep my shoes shined, tried to keep a good name. But way over town, lived a boy named Eugene Pratt. We weren't allowed to talk to him , say "hi" and that was that. That's just the way it was. That's just the way it is.

...or something damn close to that, it's been about 20 years since I've heard it.

As you can see my name is Eugene Pratt. I got to hear Mason Profit sing this song once in Peoria, IL.

In addition, I used to listen to Mason Profit before they were Mason Profit.

Yep, this group was one of the best. I had the privlege of seeing them in concert in college I believe 1969 or 70, they perfomed in the high school gym in Estherville, Iowa....seated maybe 125 people, was in the 2nd row. I have all their albums and will work on getting the lyrics to eugene pratt. The group was over looked but maybe they were happy doing what they did doing their own light protest vietnam era songs in a quit sort of way!!
