Songfactors' Choice Top Ten # 55

[TheLizard]

That's weird... They were there the first time I read your post.

[Shawna]

I hate it when that happens. It's typically something to do with the server. Check back - you may need to re-post the links.

[edna]

I agree with Phil and Lucky, now I´m finding some new material thanks to songs nominated that I didn´t know and their respective videos.

[Uncle Joe]

Plus dang it, I think it's just plain fun....

Dang it?

[Steel2Velvet]

Tee hee ... she said dang it.

[Lucky]

Musical Interlude:

Dang Me ~ Roger Miller

Well here I sit, gettin' ideas

Ain't nothing but a fool would live like this

Out all night and runnin' wild

Woman sittin' home with a month old child

CHORUS:

Dang me, dang me

They oughta take a rope and hang me

High from the highest tree

Woman would you weep for me.

Just sittin' around drinkin' with the rest of the guys

Six rounds bought, and I bought five

Spent the groceries and half the rent

Like fourteen dollars and twenty seven cents.

(CHORUS)

They say roses are red and violets are purple

Sugar is sweet and so is maple surple

Well I'm the seventh out of seven sons

My pappy was a pistol

I'm a son of a gun.

(CHORUS)

[Steel2Velvet]

Miller was a true musical and lyrical genius.

One correction to the last line of the second verse. It should be:

"Lack fourteen dollars a havin' 27 cents."

(always thought that was a great line!)

[Lucky]

Well dang it ! Those dang lyrics sites....

I love Roger Miller, too Steel!!

[phil]

I too love Roger Miller. Dang It.
