Any Fredheads out there?
While traveling on a train one morning
Just to take a ride
the car was full and I did not know
who I sat down beside
then she said it's been a long long time
I felt my blood run cold
for there beside me sat the girl
who turned my heart to stone

She said she was sorry for what she'd done
she'd start a life anew
and though she told me many things before
this time I believed it was true
so I took her to the porter's car
I got down on my knees
and as I held her in my arms
I asked her to marry me

A little cabin in the countryside
curtains and fancy frills
a little girl with dark brown eyes
and flowers in the dell...

1. Big Fan
but not a Fred Head. Flowers in the Dell, great song.

Another I enjoy:

My neighbours car got stole last night right out of his driveway
Am C G
We heard the dogs a barking we never paid 'em any mind
Am C G
Mary says she's gonna lock the door from now on when we go away
Am C D
And I've been walkin' around this farm wondering if it's time...

D G Am
Time to get a gun that's what I've been thinking
C D
I could afford one if I did just a little less drinking
G Am
Time to put something between me & the sun
C
When the talking is over it's time to get a gun

Last week a government man was there
when I walked out of my back door
He said I'm sorry to bother ya son
But it don't matter anymore
Cause even while we're talking
right here where we stand
we're making plans for a 4-lane highway
and a big old overpass

bridge

Mary says she's worried about herself and kids
D
She's never known anybody had a gun
C
and her daddy never did
D
But I think it should be up to me
C
'Cause when it's all said and done
D
Somebody's gotta walk into the night
C D
Well I'm gonna be that one

2. Whew! I posted 'Little Buffalo' lyrics the other day and no one responded
When Eaglesmith hits it, he is great.
I love 'Time to get a gun"

3. Ralph's Last Show is one of my favorite CDs of the last
5 years or so.
