Though I prayed that you'd be true
In your heart, please just remember
(song title), I'm still in love with you

3. In a little cabaret in a South Texas border town
Sat a boy and his guitar, and the people came from all around
And all the girls from there to Austin
Were slippin' away from home and puttin' jewelry in hock

4. And darlin', it's sad but true
But the one thing I've learned from you
Is how the boy don't always get the girl

5. Same old bills on the dresser same old sheets on the bed
Same old pans in the kitchen same old day old bread
Same old sad eyed newsman on the same old tv set
Talkin' 'bout the big depression but we ain't worried yet

6. Don’t leave me, I cried
Don’t take that airplane ride
Cause you locked me out of your mind
And left me standing here behind

7. If I had a day that I could give you
I'd give to you a day just like today.
If I had a song that I could sing for you
I'd sing a song to make you feel this way

8. Of the many roads she's been down,
And the places that she's seen
Well they all look at her and say
God save the queen

9. Well I had a friend named Ramblin' Bob
Who used to steal, gamble and rob
He thought he was the smartest guy in town
But I found out last Monday
That Bob got locked up Sunday

10. There ain't no glamour in this tinseled land
Of lost and wasted lives
And painful scars are all that's left of me
I want to thank you girl for teaching me
Brand new ways to be cruel
And if I can find my mind, now I guess I'll just leave

Ouch, the first time was tough as well. I should have looked at previous day's scores to see if any of the games needed some adjustments.

No Hoyt fans in the house makes me sad. But you'd all know Joy to the World, wouldn't you?

Yup, and "No No Song", and "Gremlins", and appearances on talk shows..

3. In a little cabaret in a South Texas border town
Sat a boy and his guitar, and the people came from all around
And all the girls from there to Austin
Were slippin' away from home and puttin' jewelry in hock

TENNESSEE FLATTOP BOX - JOHNNY or ROSANNE CASH

Thought for sure tbone would get this one, since he guessed it on an earlier game.

I know OF the song, having heard it a time or two, but not well enough to know the lyrics. Guess it didn't occur to me to guess on this one as it mentions Texas twice.

I thought mini's answer of Soggy Bottom Boys was a joke answer, until I was looking it up to see if Hank, Sr. ever did it and guess what? Ha!

I meant from O Brother, when they sing it at the political rally before Man of Constant Sorrow. It WAS a joke answer!

8. Queen of the Silver Dollar/Waylon Jennings

9. He's In the Jailhouse Now/Everybody (its a standard!)

Bonus Instrumtal by "The Race Is On" guy....gaaah

I've had a bad day

It started out good

it could be a country song

Seriously

Super Bonus: OK my brain is shut off

I can't believe how I just got knifed

Oh yes I can

Without giving up too much info, because "this board is not my friend; some are, but many aren't", I just wanna say to myself that if to get what I thought I might get (I still might, but it doesn't look good after all right now) I had to be a different, fakey person like the kind I can't stand for the past 23 years "just in case", I truly wouldn't have. Even if I knew there was sure monetary reward as the goal at the end. There have to be easier ways. Like the lottery! Like BAM under that old lamented phone game!

I'm such a big Hoyt fan I even know songs hardly anybody else knows. If my brain wasn't frozen-up I'd quote a few. Oh, "Evangelina, From Old Mexico" but that's not the one I was trying to think of. I'll come up with it. Its a great call-&-response #. I'm even such a big fan I actually watched that pilot tv show he did about the guy running a drive-away agency in a teeny town. Also because I used to work for drive-away agencies in this big town; believe me, none of the franchise owners were of Hoyt caliber. Many were of "he's in the jailhouse now" caliber.

I'll post that great song if I can think of it.


And I was listening (while driving on my 1st trip to Nova Scotia) that afternoon to WGBH's live 4th of July concert where Hoyt broke down on the intro to a song he wrote about this friend who always called Hoyt to bail him out of jail, but the one time Hoyt begged off, the guy died in a Mexican jail. Hoyt himself died too young a few years after.

song is something like

It was raining in the mountains & the something's (devil?) on the rise

If you don't give me shelter, I'll have no place to hide

Some you loose & some you win

& the something says


(enough for now; but it is coming back; love this song)

He used to have, oh, heck, who is that woman with the long long long hair as her trademark who's solo album I thought very weak, but who was a great backup singer singing for him; she died very young of ovarian cancer

that will come back to me too

She did a big-hit cover of a song someone else who released it should have had the bigger hit on

A brain is a terrible thing to loose
