The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!

Posted on 12/17/2002 7:32:02 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Journey to the Cross-roads

The Two Towers Edition

Come on! Come in! -if you would like to have some seedcakes and a pint and relax a while. (If it is a special occasion, we still have a few bottles of the old wineyards left!)

Our first thread ( New Zealander builds Hobbit hole ) reached 4,100 posts, and we thought that was big. Our second thread (The New Hobbit Hole ) held us for over 48,000 posts, and we loved it dearly. We talked about moving to a new thread for the last 38,000 posts, but we are really slow to muster! Finally, the time has come. Tomorrow (at 12:01 am, to be precise!) The Two Towers comes out, and we start a new chapter.

My favorite jr -- Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound. The song where he first found his own self IMO.

I like that one. But, if I have to pick a favorite it has to be "A Country Boy Can Survive"

I love his voice too, Ruthy! He's one country singer I do like - a LOT!

I like the one about his grandfather. Don't remember the title, but the main line is "I thought that he walked on water". Know the one?

I like him. But, my best friend has had him claimed around these parts for years so I couldn't get too interested!!!

He Walked on Water



He wore starched white shirts buttoned at the neck,
And he'd sit in the shade and watch the chickens peck.
And his teeth were gone, but what the heck,
I thought that he walked on water.

He said he was a cowboy when he was young.
He could handle a rope and he was good with a gun.
And my mama's daddy was his oldest son,--
And I thought that he walked on water.

If the story's told, only heaven knows.
But his hat seemed to me like an old halo.
And although his wings, they were never seen.
I thought that he walked on water.

Then he tied a cord to the end of a mop,
And said, "Son, here's a pony, keep her at a trot."
And I'd ride in circles while he laughed alot.
Then I'd flop down beside him.

And he was ninety years old in sixty-three
And I loved him and he loved me.
And lord, I cried the day he died,

'Cause I thought that he walked on water.

If the story's told, only heaven knows.
But his hat seemed to me like an old halo.
And although his wings, they were never seen.
I thought that he walked on water.

Getting chills just reading the lyrics...I love that song!

We have the music video somewhere...someone taped it for us (we don't get cable or anything). Great video.

I have trouble listening to that song. It seems like it aggrevates my allergies or something.

Okay, this is who I like to listen to. I'm sure you will get a laugh out of it.

at least maybe Rosie won't laugh at the instrument.

Yeah, have you ever been allergic to a song before? They say they don't have medicine for it either.
