some cool lyrics

I think I'm just going to post some lyrics that I like:

"A sweatin and swearin all day long,
shoutin "get up there oxen, keep movin along
load 'er up boys, cause it looks like rain,
I gotta get rollin, this old long train"

This story happened a long time ago
The log train is silent, God called daddy to go
But when I get to heaven to always remain
I'll listen for the whistle of the old log train."
Hank Williams
Log Train

"Come all of you cowboys all over this land
I'll sing you the law of the Ranger's command.

To hold a six-shooter and never to run
As long as there's bullets in both of your guns.

I met a fair maiden whose name I don't know
I asked her to the round-up with me would she go.

She said she'd go with me to the cold round-up
And drink that hard liquor from a cold bitter cup.

We started for the round-up in the fall of the year
Expecting to get there with a herd of fat steer.

When the rustlers broke on us in the dead hour of night
She rose from her warm bed a battle to fight.
She rose from her warm bed with a gun in each hand
Saying, "Come all you cowboys, and fight for your land."

Come all of you cowboys, and don't ever run
As long as there's bullets in both of your guns."

Woody Guthrie
Ranger's command

"You can fall for chains of silver,
you can fall for chains of gold.
You can fall for pretty strangers
and the promises they hold.

You promised me everything,
you promised me thick and thin.
Now you just say, "Oh yeah, Romeo,
You know I used to have a scene with him"

Dire Straits
Romeo and Juliet

"Brother flower, are you listenin?
Let me sing a song for you
Brother flower, petals glistenin,
In the bashful mornings dew
Brother flower, when the sun shines
And the dew has flown away
If you dont mind weak and wrong rhymes
Brother flower, may I stay?

Brother flower, you aint lonely
For youve always been alone
But I havent been so lucky
I had love and now its gone
I have arms to hold another
Never to hold her again
I have life to give lover
You have life to give the wind

Brother flower, when the snow flies
And you lay your beauty down
Brother flower, are you sleepin
There upon the cold, cold ground
Brother flower, please awaken
Show the sky your face of blue
Let me know I aint forsaken
Seems like all I have is you"

Townes Van Zandt
Brother Flower
