Ok, Ok,

I decided to have a little fun. These are lyrics to country music songs. Name the singer and the name of the song. For extra credit, I will start them off and you fill in the the rest of the verse.....Absolutely no cheating or you will be banned..LOL...Winner get's a free prize from Bessy!!

PS- Let's keep it going. If you want to add your own songs go for it!!


Here we go............


1- I killed poor Jed Kline in bad Laredo fight
Killed him with my bare hands for the girl I loved that night
Jed's brother's out to get me..........................


2- Saw you a-marchin' with Robert E. Lee
You held your head a-high, tryin' to win the victory
You fought for your folks but you didn't die in vain, ..........................................



3- Now the stranger started talking made it plain to folks around,
Was an Arizona ranger wouldn't be too long in town..................


4- Are we rollin' downhill like a snowball headed for hell?
With no kind of chance for the flag or the liberty bell?....................................


5- The girl with the golden hair,
Not a word between us was spoken,
No the silence never was broken........................


6- For six long days and wear-y nights they tried to find her trail,
Church-hill told peo-ple put ever' ship a-sail,
'Cause some-where on that o-cean I know she's got-ta be......................................


7- Nobody wants to get drunk and get loud.Everybody just wants to go back home.
I myself have seen my wilder days and I have seen my name at the top of the page,
but I need to find a friend just to run around.But no one wants to get high on the town, ............................................




Extra credit because its different than the rest...(my wife hates it)


8- I've never spent much time in school but I taught ladies plenty.
It's true I hire my body out for pay.
I've gotten burned over Cheryl Tiegs, blown up for Raquel Welch,
But when I end up in the hay it's only hay, hay, hay...............................................

He made sure that everyone heard
Slowly he stepped away from the bar
And I still remember these words;

Trouble's what I try to shun
If that's what you want, then that's what you'll get
'Cause cowboy, we're both packin' guns.

8- Well the truck stop cutie comin' on to me

His hand was already positioned
Feet wide apart on the floor
I hadn't noticed but there on his hip
was a short barreled bad .44.

And of course who can forget the single greatest country lyric of all time...

Yeah them chicken coops as full of bears
and choppers filled the skies
Well we shot the line and went for broke
With a thousand screamin' trucks
and eleven long-haired friends of Jesus in a chartruesse microbus!

and a close second...

Waiting in the front yard sitting on a log
single shot rifle and a one eyed dog
yonder come a kinfolk in the moonlight
Loiusianna Saturday Night

My brother Bill and my Other Brother Jack
belly full of beer and a possum in a sack
fifteen kids in the front porch light Lousianna Saturday Night!!

It just don't get much better than that!


UTROY
Proverbs 21:19 (why I hunt!)
 
Finish the lyrics and guess the song and artist.....

BTW...I'm only 33, but these are all the songs I listened to as a kid and know them all by heart. I loved my parents' records and played them often. I was definitely Country when country wasn't cool.

1- He kept her picture on his wall
Went half crazy now and then

2- Go to my office, the work's piled up
pour two fingers' bourbin in my coffee cup

3- Betty runs a trailer park, Jan sells Tupperware,
Randy's on an insane ward, Mary's on welfare.
Charlie took a job with Ford, Joe took Freddie's wife

4- When she's down, she knows I'll be beside her.
'Cause I'm not just her lover, I'm her friend.
Our love keeps getting better and I'll gladly spend forever

5- I'll take a Cheverolet just anyday
So give your daddy back his Mercedes-Benz

This one is my all-time favorite song and it makes me cry every time I hear it.

6- That same woman's face was wrapped up
In a raptured look of love and tenderness
As she marvelled at the soft and warm
And cuddly boy child, feeding at her breast.

7- But the man I love, when he picks up trash
He puts it in a garbage can
And that's what a you look like to me
And what I see?s a pity
Close your face and stay outta my way

8- But they didn't understand it
And I tried to make them see
That one is only poor
Only if they choose to be
Now I know we had no money
But I was rich as I could be

9- I work 10 hours on a John Deere tractor
just thinkin' of you all day

10- When he got the stampede turned and saved Lenore his friend
He turned to face the cattle and meet his fatal end
His six gun flashed like lightning, the report rang loud
and clear As the cattle rushed and killed him
 
5 New Ones!!! Good Luck


1- Alone and afraid she prayed that he'd return that fateful night, aww that night
When nothin' she said could keep her man from goin' out to fight,
From the moment a girl gets to be full-grown the very first thing she learns
..................................................


2- Keep your foot hard on the peddle...son, never mind them brakes
let it all hang out cause we've got a run to make
The boys are thirsty in Atlanta,and there's beer in Texarcana
......................................................

3- Was the dark of the moon on the sixth of june
In a kenworth pullin logs
Cab-over pete with a reefer on
And a jimmy haulin hogs
.............................................

4- I don't need fortune and I don't need fame
Send down the thunder Lord, send down the rain
But when you're planning just how it will be
Plan a good day for me ...............................................

5- Six foot six he stood on the ground weighed two hundred and thirty five pounds
But I saw that giant of a man brought down to his knees by love
He was the kind of a man that would gamble on luck.................................................
 
Gotta love C.W. McCall and the Convoy

Close second is the Gentle Giant

Both great songs!!!
 
>Gotta love C.W. McCall and the
>Convoy

LOL I just got off the phone with Roy and he and I sang every one of these songs. This is fun! Good post MM!
 
LAST EDITED ON Aug-24-07 AT 02:09PM (MST)[p]Here's a couple more....


1- Have gun will travel reads the card of a man
A knight without armor in a savage land
His fast gun for hire heeds the calling wind
A soldier of fortune is a man called ..........................................


2- Once was a thought inside my head,
Fore Id reach thirty Id be dead.
Now somehow on and on I go-o-o..........................
 
Finish all these lyrics, MM-

Coffee black...cigarrettes....

You're my bread...when I'm hungry...

Well there I was in HOllywood, wishin' I was doin' good....

To look in the mirror in total surprise.....
 
I don't think I know any answers. BUT the question 2 answer might be that ggreat grandfather Ransom( the original) was in the Army of Northern Virginia. He was captured and died. Does this count for a correct answer? If not I don't want to play anymore.


Ransom, the one who is still alive

Sure yeah, but only if you tell us more about him and the battle he was in.
 
Keep in mind the words I sing usually aren't the real lyrics...LOL



>Finish all these lyrics, MM-

>Coffee black...cigarrettes....

start this day like all the rest,
first thing in the mornin that I do
is start missing you



>You're my bread...when I'm hungry...

Youre my shelter from troubled winds
you're my anchor in lifes ocean
but most of all you're my best friend



>Well there I was in HOllywood,
>wishin' I was doin' good....

But they dont need me in the movies and nobody sings my songs
guess I'm just wastin time (Tulsa Time)



>To look in the mirror in
>total surprise.....

The hair on your shoulders and the age in your eyes.
 
For YOU boys....

Here's one for all you MM boys.... hee hee hee

Artist and song and sing the chours together if you would....

Now, I don't mean to criticize the girls at all
I know Robert Redford, even overhauls
We all picture in our minds a girl that looks just right
Ain't it funny, ain't it strange,
The way a man's opinion changes
When he starts to face that lonely night.
 
RE: For YOU boys....

How bout this one instead??

She can't help it if she's made that way,
she's not to blame if they look her way,
she ain't really tryin' to cause a scene, it.....................................................

Gotta love good ol' Mel McDaniel, too!
 
Yeah well he was 12th Alabama Infantry. Captured by Northern Agressors at Gettysburg, infantry support of Picketts Charge and died Point Lookout POW Camp i year later. This is true and none of my attempt at humour. Now do I win anything?
By the way did you see my warning about Sha#ks? Got me nuked twice today.

Ransom the younger
 
LAST EDITED ON Aug-24-07 AT 03:18PM (MST)[p] Now do I win
>anything?

Well sure. I've got a really cool Martha Stewart Plastic Cutting Board to give you. That's the prize (if you wanna know the story behind that go look up a "What'd you get for Christmas" thead from last December)

>By the way did you see
>my warning about Sha#ks? Got
>me nuked twice today.

You know I did! Gotta be careful! lol
 
MortgageMan did you get trapped with your old man and nothin to do but listen to gunfighter ballads. I know how it is I've been trapped in a camper with him and nothin but an 8 track of Johnny Cash and burning ring of fire. I wished the camper would have burned down in a burning ring of fire! I bet you remember "Don't worry be happy"
 
He is the king of gunfighter ballads....There are many times that I wished the camper would have burned down too....That takes you back a while doesn't it? I was alot younger then though....Young enough I didn't have to get up in the middle of the night and refill the generator with gas in the middle of November up on the Crawfords (poor you and Travis). Those were some cold hunts.

Ha Ha...Thats funny....I remember that song. He still plays "Don't worry be happy" like crazy. He played it last weekend in his trailer when we were bowhunting. He wore out all his old 8 tracks and his Johnny Horton and Frankie Laine records.
 
RE: For YOU boys....

How bout this one

An old cowboy went ridin out one dark and windy day
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
When all at once a mighty herd of redeyed cows he saw plowin through the ragged skies and up the cloudy draws.....

Alright...alright...

I can see everyone is just dying to know what these lyrics are so I'll give you the chorus and then you'll go..."OH! Yeah...I know that song!"

(LRV...maybe I wouldn't be so mad at you if you'd play my song game or ask about my boobs like beefy does. LOL)

1- He kept her picture on his wall
Went half crazy now and then......HE STOPPED LOVING HER TODAY......THEY PLACED A WREATH UPON HIS DOOR, AND SOON THEY'LL CARRY HIM AWAY...HE STOPPED LOVING HER TODAY.

GEORGE JONES "HE STOPPED LOVING HER TODAY"

2- Go to my office, the work's piled up
pour two fingers' bourbin in my coffee cup...CRY ON MY BEST FRIEND'S SHOULDER DOWN THE HALL....LOOK OUT MY WINDOW AND WHAT DO i SEE? NOTHING BUT PAIN LOOKIN' BACK AT ME...ALL MY FUTURE MEANS TO ME IS TOSSING YESTERDAY'S LOVE INTO THE WIND, AND STRAIGHTEN MISS EMILY'S PICTURE NOW AND THEN.

JOHN CONLEE "MISS EMILY'S PICTURE"

3- Betty runs a trailer park, Jan sells Tupperware,

AND THE CLASS OF 57 HAD ITS DREAMS...

STATLER BROTHERS "CLASS OF 57"

4- When she's down, she knows I'll be beside her.
'Cause I'm not just her lover, I'm her friend.
Our love keeps getting better and I'll gladly spend forever...
CUZ I'M A STAND BY MY WOMAN MAN

RONNIE MILSAP

5- I'll take a Cheverolet just anyday
So give your daddy back his Mercedes-Benz
and there's some common people that I hang out with,
they're my goodtime buddies they're my friends.
AND I'D RATHER CHUG-A-LUG A MUG OF BUDWEISER BEER THAN SIP A CRYSTAL GLASS OF WINE, SO WON'T YOU MAKE YOUR MIND UP TO BELIEVE IN ME AND LEAVE THIS HIGH LIVIN' WORLD BEHIND.

I'M JUST A COMMON MAN, DRIVE A COMMON VAN, MY DOG AIN'T GOT A PEDIGREE AND IF I HAVE MY SAY IT'S GONNA STAY THAT WAY CUZ HIGH BROW PEOPLE LOSE THEIR SANITY, AND A COMMON MAN IS WHAT I'LL BE

JOHN CONLEE "COMMON MAN"


This one is my all-time favorite song and it makes me cry every time I hear it.

6- That same woman's face was wrapped up
In a raptured look of love and tenderness
As she marvelled at the soft and warm
And cuddly boy child, feeding at her breast.

I'VE SEEN SOME SIGHTS BUT BABE YOU'RE SOMETHIN'
MAMA LOVES HER COUNTRY BUMPKIN

LORETTA LYNN "FIST CITY"

Now I know we had no money
But I was rich as I could be
IN MY COAT OF MANY COLORS, THAT MAMA MADE FOR ME

DOLLY PARTON "COAT OF MANY COLORS"

9- I work 10 hours on a John Deere tractor

I'VE GOT A CALICO CAT AND A 2 ROOM FLAT ON A STREET IN WEST L.A....YOU'RE THE REASON GOD MADE OKLAHOMA AND I'M STILL MISSIN' YOU....

SHELLY WEST AND DAVID FRIZELL

10- When he got the stampede turned and saved Lenore his friend
He turned to face the cattle and meet his fatal end
His six gun flashed like lightning, the report rang loud
and clear As the cattle rushed and killed him
HE DROPPED THE LEADING STEER

MARTY ROBBINS "UTAH CAROL"

About Marty Robbins and how we came to know most of his songs...besides growing up listening to an AM station that played all this kind of stuff...Roy worked trail crew as a teenager for the Forest Service and my dad's buddy was his trail boss so we'd go camping with the trail crew a few times every summer. The guys would get out the Marty Robbins tapes and pop them in at night as we hung out around the campfire. We loved those songs and all of us joined in. My dad always sang Mr. Shorty to us when we were little, too. I still like to make my daddy sing Mr. Shorty.

My grandpa listened to Marty Robbins quite a bit, too. In fact, he made a deal with our friend, Dot, that she'd sing "My Woman, My Woman, My Wife" to our grandma at his funeral. She did and it was a surprise to all of us, but what a loving tribute. That song will always have a special place in our hearts.
 
Now, I'm only 22, but i really think that this is about the best song in the world!

Now the stranger started talking made it plain to folks around,
Was an Arizona ranger wouldn't be too long in town

Marty Robbins, Big Iron!!!
Casey
