I don't know why my head was full of Waylon Jennings, and I knew that was wrong. I should have guessed, after all the times I joked over the years about a guy named Johnny Paycheck doing a song like that.

Johnny Paycheck (ironic that *he* would do such a song, eh?), 1988 He didn't write it. David Alan Coe wrote But it IS the song that Johny is best-known for.. It is ironic that David wrote it only because he has almost never had a job, unless you count prison. Ironically, Coe is best-known for a song he DIDN'T write: Steve Goodman wrote "You Never Even Called Me By My Name" and Coe recorded it. It has the following passage, making it the perfect country song. WELL, I WAS DRUNK THE DAY MY MOM GOT OUT OF PRISON AND I WENT TO PICK HER UP IN THE RAIN BUT BEFORE I COULD GET TO THE STATION IN MY PICKUP TRUCK SHE GOT RUN NED OVER BY A DAMNED OLD TRAIN which Goodman added when Coe said it couldn't be the perfect country song because it didn't inlude anything about Mom, Prison, pickup trucks or trains. Will in New Haven -- CHORUS: AND I'LL HANG AROUND AS LONG AS YOU WILL LET ME AND I NEVER MINDED STANDING' IN THE RAIN NO, A' YOU DON'T HAVE TO CALL ME DARLIN', DARLIN' YOU NEVER EVEN CALL ME WELL I WONDER WHY YOU DON'T CALL ME WHY DON'T YOU EVER CALL ME BY MY NAME > >>> Louie and I are going to karaoke tonight... > >>> [quoted text clipped - 64 lines] > >> Take this job and shove it > >> I ain't working here, ain't working here, ain't working here no more >>>Waylon Jennings or Hank Williams Jr.? >> [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > Will in New Haven Didn't David Alan Coe sing a song where the lyrics say that some people think he sounds like this person and some people think he sounds like that person and some people think he sounds like David Alan Coe? I'm not a big fan but that one struck me funny. Pam S. > >>>Waylon Jennings or Hank Williams Jr.? > >> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Even Called Me By My Name" and Coe recorded it.

I'm > not a big fan but that one struck me funny. I think he did but all I can dredge up is this, from the same song: YOU DON'T HAVE TO CALL ME WAYLON JENNINGS AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO CALL ME CHARLIE PRIDE AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO CALL ME MERLE HAGGARD/ANYMORE EVEN THOUGH YOU'RE ON MY FIGHTING' SIDE and he has another song that refers to "Waylon and Willie and Me" as if all thre of them were somehow equivalent country outlaws. He wrote that one and he plays it for laughts. He is not foolish enough to think that he is in their class. Will in New Haven -- "I watch the clouds go sailing; I watch the clock and sun. Oh, I watch myself, depending on, September when it comes." Rosanne Cash- "September When it Comes" > Pam S. >Louie and I are going to karaoke tonight... > > ...and I don't know how the music to "Take This Job And Shove It" >goes! ROFL! Good for you -- get that anger out! If I had the music, I'd e-mail it to you. Just fake it; it'll be close enough. Johnny Paycheck can't really sing that well anyway ;-) Ginger-lyn Home Pages: http://www.moonsummer.com http://www.angelfire.com/folk/glsummer (homepage & cats) http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~summer/index.htm (genealogy) http://www.movieanimals.bravehost.com/ (The Violence Against Animals in Movies Website) > Louie and I are going to karaoke tonight... > > ...and I don't know how the music to "Take This Job And Shove It" > goes! Mad is good. There is healthy energy in mad. Jo > Louie and I are going to karaoke tonight... > > ...and I don't know how the music to "Take This Job And Shove It" > goes! Hey, what about this one: Sixteen Tons (Original by Merle Travis) Some people say a man is made out of mud A poor man's made out of muscle and blood Muscle and blood and skin and bones A mind that's weak and a back that's strong Chorus: You load sixteen tons, and whattaya get? Another day older and deeper in debt St. Peter don'cha call me, cause I can't go I owe my soul to the company store I was born one morning when the sun didn't shine I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine I loaded sixteen tons of number-nine coal And the straw boss said, "Well bless my soul!" Chorus I was born one morning, it was drizzlin' rain Fightin' and trouble are my middle name I was raised in the canebreak by an old mama lion Cain't no high-toned woman make me walk the line Chorus If you see me comin' better step aside A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died One fist of iron, the other of steel If the right one don't getcha then the left one will Chorus Could send you an MP3 (no karaoke version though). Squarely Yours Michael  SignatureSquare Dance is friendship put to music Andrea and Michael with furballs Blacky and Merlin More detail at: http://www.curschmann-sachsen.de I want to know what's wrong with my head. After forgetting Johnny Paycheck, now I have Tennesee Ernie Ford singing these words to the "Gypsies Tramps and Thieves" music... But then again, we are talking about HSBC.

Nothing's wrong with your head. Found a lot of fellows covering that song on http://www.getlyrics.com including Tennessee Ernie Ford: Sixteen Tons by Brave Combo Sixteen Tons by Dave Dudley Sixteen Tons by Eddie Cochran Sixteen Tons by Eddy Arnold Sixteen Tons by Frankie Laine Sixteen Tons by Hank Thompson Sixteen Tons by Jimmy Dean Sixteen Tons by Rockapella Sixteen Tons by Stan Ridgway -- Sixteen Tons by Tennessee Ernie Ford -- Not guaranteed I got them all though...

That's OK honey. I've been sitting here for the last hour with the picture of the man who sang Sixteen Ton that I remember on TV as a child and could not dig the name Tennessee Ernie Ford out of the memory banks. So you have saved a bit of my sanity. and acquired a new earworm. Gypsies Tramps and Thieves? I should know that right? Drawing yet another blank,,, Jo Cher. She was born in the wagon of a traveling show and her mama would dance for the money they'd throw and Grandpa'd do whatever he could.

[quoted text clipped - 17 lines] >> >>Jo Actually, it was PAPA who would do whatever he could...in the first verse, which referred to the story song's protagonist as "she." In the LAST verse, in which "she" referred to the protagonist's daughter, it was grampaw'd do...because, even though it was the same guy, it was a different relationship.

I don't think that Tennessee Ernie Ford and Cher look or sound at all alike. I hope you had a great karaoke session and that you out did Johnny Paycheck. I often wish I could sing decently. Music cures a lot of ills. Pam S. We had a nice time singing, thank you :-) ! Except our regular KJ wasn't there, and the fill-in guy did NOT have the Johnny Paycheck song! So it gives me an excuse to go shopping and learn the damn thing for this coming weekend, and THEN I can let the venom loose. Blessed be, Baha > > I want to know what's wrong with my head. > > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Pam S. > Sweetie?

Music cures a > lot of ills. That's what's driving me nuts about all this! In trying to remember Sixteen Tons, i got this picture in my head of a night out years ago when my friend Brian got up and massacred the song, then a couple of numbers later did a passable Cher. Now I seem to have them fused. I imagine I'll be having dreams of Cher with a beard or something before too long; or Ernie-pie in a halter top getting in trouble with censors for showing his navel. I may be getting in trouble now for showing my age! Blessed be, Baha Wish you'd said something earlier. I know the tune. Take this job and shove it. I ain't working here no more. Woman done gone and took all the pay I was working for. Better not try to stand in my way, cause I'm a walking out that door. Take this job and shove it, I aint' workin here no more. SignatureChristopher A. Young You can't shout down a troll. You have to starve them. . Louie and I are going to karaoke tonight... ...and I don't know how the music to "Take This Job And Shove It" goes! It's not so much the lyrics I'm worried about. At a karaoke joint the lyrics are on a teleprompter for you. It's the music. I know the chorus and can't dredge up the rest of it. As for Sixteen Tons, it is now permanently welded in my mind with Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves and Tennesee Ernie Ford must be having kittens by the litter over it.
