Just sittin' around drinkin' with the rest of the guys Six rounds bought, and I bought five And I spent the groceries and half the rent Like fourteen dollars and twenty-seven cents Dang me, dang me They oughta take a rope and hang me High from the highest tree Woman, would you weep for me?

PastaJoe Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I've been run down and I've been lied to.And I don't know why, I let that mean woman make me a fool.She took all my money, wrecks my new car.Now she's with one of my good time buddies,They're drinkin in some cross-town bar. Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel,Like I been tied to the whippin' post.Tied to the whippin' post, tied to the whippin' post.Good Lord, I feel like I'm dyin'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoTom Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 In the bars, with the men who play guitarsSingin', drinkin' and rememberin' the timesMy little lover does a midnight shiftShe followed around all the time I guess there's just one thing left for me to doGonna pack my bags and move on my way'Cause I got a worried mind sharin' what I thought was mineGonna leave her where the guitars play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a styleAnd so I came to see him, to listen for a whileAnd there he was, this young boy, a stranger to my eyes Strumming my pain with his fingersSinging my life with his wordsKilling me softly with his songKilling me softly with his songTelling my whole life with his wordsKilling me softly with his song I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowdI felt he'd found my letters and read each one out loudI prayed that he would finish, but he just kept right on Strumming my pain with his fingersSinging my life with his wordsKilling me softly with his songKilling me softly with his songTelling my whole life with his wordsKilling me softly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Beard Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Blue moon you saw me standing alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own Blue moon, you knew just what I was there for You heard me saying a prayer for Someone I really could care for And then there suddenly appeared before me The only one my arms will hold I heard somebody whisper "Please adore me" And when I looked, the moon had turned to gold!
