You post lyrics from a song from the 1950's and someone guesses the song and singer(s) then if they want, they post lyrics for someone else to guess.
So first one:

"I was born one mornin' when the sun did'nt shine, picked up a shovel and I walked to the mine..."

I guess no one knows, its "Sixteen Tons" by Tennessee Ernie Ford, from the 1950's.
Next one:

Well, I was born a _____________________ In a cabin on a hill in Butcher Holler, we were poor, but we had love.....................

Coal Miners Daughter - Loretta Lynn ?

Very good annball1957, and remember whoever answers it correctly, if you can think of one post some lyrics of your own for someone to guess the song.
Next one:

Charlie's got a gold watch, don't seem like a whole lot, after thirty years of drivin' up and down the interstate................

no idea......strangely, i should have known 16 tons....I guess I wasnt thinking *blush*

CLUE: this song won 3 big awards in 1988 and is sung by a female singer

AGAIN THE LYRICS ARE:
Charlie's got a gold watch, don't seem like a whole lot, after thirty years of drivin' up and down the interstate..........................

no clue, sorry!

okay here are some more lyrics to this same particular song, maybe this will help:

Ten more miles on his four day run, a few more songs from the all night radio..............

another clue: the females initials are K.M.

no idea :confused: maybe we should expand this to other kinds of music...now if it were 50s...... ;)

okay the song is "18 Wheels And A Dozen Roses" by Kathy Mattea
its a great song so if you guys can give it a listen someday

For the next song, it's a Country song from the '50's
Here it is:

In 1814 we took a little trip, along with Colonel Jackson down the mightly Mississip, we took a little bacon and we took a little beans..................

note: I changed the title to 1950's Country Music lyric game

Actually I meant 50s Rock n Roll :lol:
although what i was really saying was, open it to all kinds of popular music.....
anyway, the song is "the Battle of New Orleans" 1959, by Johnny Horton ;)

That is correct Mikado, it is indeed "The Battle Of New Orleans" by Johnny Horton, from 1959. And since a lot of Country songs from the 1950's were sorta rock n' rollish anyways and vice versa I have changed the title again to "1950's music lyric game".

So here is the next song for someone to guess:

The wise old owl, the big black crow, flapping them wings sayin' go bird go............

Rockin Robin, Bobby Day, cant recall the year

It was Rockin' Robin by Bobby Day from 1958

Funny thing, Bobby Days REAL name was Bobby Bird...but, had he used his real name on a song called Rockin' Robin......Make up your own joke here! :lol:

Well Zone, thats cause it started as a country music lyrics thread, but, no one wanted to play that, then i suggested she add all types of music (and cited how id like some 50s<i meant among other things ) and she misunderstood and turned it into a 50s music game and it died (I dont think shes posting anymore either)
