You’re all ribbons and curls, ooh, what a girl
Eyes that sparkle and shine
You’re sixteen, you’re beautiful and you’re mine

You’re my baby, you’re my pet
We fell in love on the night we met
You touched my hand, my heart went pop
Ooh, when we kissed I could not stop

This song chronicles one of the most heinous crimes in the history of Los Angeles--the kidnap and murder of Marian Parker, the daughter of a banker, in December, 1927. When the perpetrator was brought to justice, the singer, Vernon Dalhart, released a sequel, "The Hanging of the Fox" (1928).

Don Henley MUST DIE!!

[spel_grammer_an_punct_polise]

I remember the artists, Jay and the Americans and some of the lyrics but do not remember the name of the song:

In a little café just South of the border;
She was sitting there giving me looks that made my mouth water.....

Come a little bit closer,
You’re so big and so strong
and the night is so long.....

*then later on in the song:*

So I dropped my drink from my hand
And to the window I ran.
And as I rode away
I could hear her say to José,
Come a little bit closer
You’re so big and so strong
and the night is so long.

*Any help from the Peanut Gallery would be greatly appreciated! ;-)*

Blake Shelton - Ol’ Red

Well I caught my wife with another man
And it cost me ninety nine
On a prison farm in Georgia
Close to the Florida line
Well I’d been here for two long years
I finally made the warden my friend
And so he sentenced me to a life of ease
Taking care of Ol Red

Now Ol’ Red he’s the damnedest dog that I’ve ever seen
Got a nose that can smell a two day trail
He’s a four legged tracking machine
You can consider yourself mighty lucky
To get past the gators and the quicksand beds
But all these years that I’ve been here
Ain’t nobody got past Red

[chorus]
And the warden sang
Come on somebody
Why don’t you run
Ol’ Red’s itchin’ to have a little fun
Get my lantern
Get my gun
Red’ll have you treed before the mornin’ comes

[apocalypto]
