~Favorite GUN Song~

Lloy Price - Stagger Lee
The night was clear and the moon was yellow
And the leaves came tumbling down

I was standing on the corner when I heard my bulldog bark

He was barkin' at the two men who were gamblin' in the dark
It was Stagger Lee and Billy, two men who gambled late
Stagger Lee threw seven, Billy swore that he threw eight

Stagger Lee told Billy, "I can't let you go with that"
"You have won all my money and my brand new stetson hat"
Stagger Lee started off goin' down that railroad track
He said "I can't get you Billy but don't be here when I come back"

Stagger Lee went home and he got his forty-four

Said "I'm goin' to the barroom just to pay that debt I owe"
Stagger Lee went to the barroom and he stood across the barroom door
He said "Nobody move" and he pulled his forty-four

Stagger Lee shot Billy, oh he shot that poor boy so bad
Till the bullet came through Billy and it broke the bartender's glass

Gene Pitney - (The Man Who Shot) Liiberty Valance >

When Liberty Valance rode to town the womenfolk would hide, they'd hide
When Liberty Valance walked around the men would step aside
'cause the point of a gun was the only law that Liberty understood
When it came to shootin' straight and fast---he was mighty good.

>From out of the East a stranger came, a law book in his hand, a man
The kind of a man the West would need to tame a troubled land
'cause the point of a gun was the only law that Liberty understood
When it came to shootin' straight and fast---he was mighty good.

Many a man would face his gun and many a man would fall
The man who shot Liberty Valance, he shot Liberty Valance
He was the bravest of them all.

The love of a girl can make a man stay on when he should go, stay on
Just tryin' to build a peaceful life where love is free to grow
But the point of a gun was the only law that Liberty understood
When the final showdown came at last, a law book was no good.

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
When two men go out to face each other only one retur-r-r-ns

Everyone heard two shots ring out, a shot made Liberty fall
The man who shot Liberty Valance, he shot Liberty Valance
He was the bravest of them all.

The man who shot Liberty Valance, he shot Liberty Valance
He was the bravest of them all.

High Noon,

Lyrics to High Noon :
Do not forsake me, oh my darling
On this our wedding day
Do not forsake me, oh my darling
Wait, wait along
I do not know what fate awaits me
I only know I must be brave

For I must face a man who hates me
Or die a coward, a craven coward
Or die a coward in my grave

Oh, to be torn twixt love and duty
Supposin' I love my fair haired beauty
Look at that big hand movin' round
Nearin' high noon
He made a vow while in state prison

Said it would be my life or hisn'
I'm not afraid to die but oh
What will I do if you leave me?

Do not forsake me, oh my darling
You make that promise as a bride
Do not forsake me, oh my darling
Although you're grievin', don't think of leavin'
Not while I need you by my side

Wait along, wait along
Wait along, wait along

Good morning, dear ((HUGS))

Be careful out there.

[beachn4fun]

Good morning and (((HUGS))) EG. All is well. Going to be warmer today. Yipeee! Got some work to get done this morning. Monday is a holiday for us, so it’ll be a short week.

Whatz up with you?

[Arrowhead1952]

Good morning beachy. (((HUGS))) to you too.

I have a lot of office work today, so I don’t heve to get out much.

[E.G.C.]

Well, as promised and advertsied I took Bo out to the lake.

The lake was froze when we got out there so Bo didn't get to do any swimming but he got a chance to dig around for moles in the grass.

It's in the upper 30's this morning. Feels a little bit foggy also.

[ConorMacNessa]

Good morning, Beachy! *HUGS* Finally a little relief from this cold! How’s it going this morning?

[HiJinx]

I don’t care what you say, that there is just plain funny!
Just about anyone can become a bona fidey rev’rend nowadays...

Dwight Yoakam - "What I don't Know"

What I don't know might not hurt me If I stay dumb and no one tells But if I find out that you've been cheatin' What I don't know might get you killed

Death row in prison don't look half as bad As a life filled with heartache over you So if you're a playin' those dirty little games You better pray that I don't find out the truth

What I don't know might not hurt me If I stay dumb and no one tells But if I find out that you've been cheatin' What I don't know might get you killed

Smith and Wesson juries hold a real mean, nasty court And the verdict that they pass is never slow So keep on a wearin' that little poker face 'Cause soon enough your cards will have to show

What I don't know might not hurt me If I stay dumb and no one tells But if I find out that you've been cheatin' What I don't know might get you killed

“Ain’t hardly worth goin’ to war no more...”

I had that album - that was one of the better songs on it.

[HiJinx]

Good night, MA!
Good morning, Beachie!

Time to head in to the office, see y’all sometime later today...maybe at lunchtime...

[writer33]

Why would they hate them...unless an occasional libloon sees them...

Just a little joke, pookie.

[pookie18]

Me too ;-)

[writer33]

:-)

[PROCON]

Hiya Beachie!!

Wet and warm here on the left coast. I have tomorrow off so Yipee for another 3 day weekend.

I hope you have a wonderful day !

[Tanniker Smith]

Good morning, beachy! Good morning, all!

They got people walking around the building today. Gotta make sure everything is as it is "supposed to be", whatever that means.

It's the semi-annual Dog and Pony show and it's time to perform.

Actually, my big performance is tonight when I have to figure out how to cook dinner for the kids. We're having pizza tomorrow (it's Friday), so I wanted to avoid takeout. We had chicken last night, there goes that. And it's actually too warm for the pasta and chickpea soup that I do a decent job of. And it's too cool to pull out the grill.

So I have to find something simple enough a math teacher can cook it (but a little more involved than "open the can").

Talk to ya later.

[beachn4fun]

Good morning, CMN ((HUGS))

Sure feels good to see the sun, knowing it’ll warm up soon.

Tomorrow is going for 50!

[beachn4fun]

Good morning, tannkier ((HUGS))

It’s never too warm for pasta! Go for it if it’ll make the kiddies (& dad) happy.

[beachn4fun]

Good morning, Jinxie

((HUGS))

Drive safe. See you around lunchtime. I’ll be around for a bit.

[beachn4fun]

Yo Pro ((HUGS))

Sunny, dry, and warmer on the Right coast.

I have Monday off for holiday.....yippeeee for me too! LOL

Hope you have a great day

R & B lover that I am, that would be “Shotgun” by Jr. Walker.

Shotgun
Shoot him ‘fore he run now
Do the jerk, baby
Do the bird now

Put on your red dress
Then you go downtown
Buy yourself a shotgun now
We’re gonna break it down, baby, now
We’re gonna load it up, baby, now
Can you shoot him ‘fore he run now?

[TalonDJ]

Would have loved the video if it did not showcase horrible trigger discipline.
