[Siegfried Schlagrule]

"The year on the tombstone reads 1805;
it says that he died by the gun.
On a cool desert evening in New Mexico;
a prairie of shadows and stones.
The coyotes howl in the mournful wind;
his lonesome story is told.
He longs to ride and be free again;
not owing the Devil his soul.
And the legend lives on.
Let's sing a song for him now boys;
as he lays in his stony grave.
Let's drink one more round for our friend in the ground.
The gunfighter's gone but his legend remains."

hint - flipside of a very popular song

Sometime love blossoms in springtime
Then like flowers in summer it grows
And then fades away in the winter
When the cold winds begin to blow....

Beautiful song by a famous artist, yet seldom remembered. Monty

come with us and find
the pleasures of the journey

come along if your care
come along if your dare
take a ride to the land

"Ghost Riders in the Sky," recorded by dozens of C&W artists.

Okay, let's see how long it takes some other Paleozoic survivor to nail this one. (No fair Googling! )

"I've tried time and time again.
"We end up as nothin' but friends..."

 

[PBK]

"Side by Side," recorded by beaucoups of pop and big band duos.

that was a while ago

Eric Clapton a Certain Girl.

It was more of " a while ago" than you know!

Long before Clapton capably covered it, it was a classic "New Orleans Sound" R&B hit for Ernie K Doe of "Mother-in-Law" fame.

Now, then.... who'll step up and ID this easy one?

"Fly the ocean in a silver plane.
"Watch the jungle when it's wet with rain..."

Come on PBK I thought you would have this one already!!!

Guess I'll have to holler "uncle" to you and your great-uncle, too! (Of course, there's always Google... )

As for the others... well, many years ago I worked in radio, so maybe that gives me a bit of an edge. After all, if you hear a song long enough, the lyrics tend to burn in after a while!
