Name That Tune

the wizard

I was sittin' in Miami, pouring blended whiskey down
When this old gray, black gentleman was cleaning up the lounge.
"How old do you think I am," he said?
I said, well, I didn't know.
He said, "I turned 85 about 11 months ago."

Thank God someone got that one...I'd of never guessed....

but this one I did right away

Tom T Hall -Old Dogs And Children And Watermelon Wine

hmmmmm

There's a picture of my face,
Reflected in the pane
Is it tears I see
Or is it rain

Way to go GOD! Wish I could take credit for stumping everyone, but that was a suggestion from my husband.

Ok, I consulted David on this one...

Harry Belafonte~Little Bird

So the people of the valley
Sent a message up the hill,
Asking for the buried treasure,
Tons of gold for which they'd kill.

Came an answer from the kingdom,
"With our brothers we will share
All the secrets of our mountain,
All the riches buried there."

One Tin Soldier...Im almost positive it's Coven that sung it.....and an awesome song too....

I've had other guys
I've looked into their eyes
But I never knew love before
'Til you walked through my door
I've had other lips
I've sailed a thousand ships
But no matter where I go
You're the one for me baby this I know, 'cause it's

Island_Lullaby · Post by **Island_Lullaby** » May 8, 2004 5:06 pm

sadly, I know this one...Madonna~True Blue

and PG, you are correct with Coven

I'm not scared a dyin' and I, don't really care
If it's peace you find in dyin' well then, let the time be near
If it's peace you find in dyin' and if dyin' time is near
Just bundle up my coffin 'cause it's, cold way down there
I hear that it's, cold way down there, yeah
Crazy cold way down there.

And when I die........Blood, Sweat & Tears
yeah I hear you on the True Blue song...I just found my old cassette this week and it kinda stuck in my head

On a night like this
You look up at your lover
It's like you're in some old cartoon
Then you detect
The scent of faded roses
Up in the sky

ok, david knows this one too...

Steely Dan~Countermoon

There will never be
Another one like you
There will never be
Another one who can
Do the things you do, oh

Will you give another chance?
Will you try, little try?
Please stop and you remember
We were together, anyway, all right

Island_Lullaby · Post by **Island_Lullaby** » May 15, 2004 12:32 am

um...yes, he did pick this one...
hint...his favorite band...

hehehe...not much of a hint...

another hint...on the album the soft parade

parrotsgirl · Post by **parrotsgirl** » May 15, 2004 9:13 pm

so we have a "Doors" fan here do we

not one of my favorite bands, but spend alot of years listening to them....

so the song would be...."Shaman's Blues"

try this one......

Walkin' up the street you can hear the sound,
of some bad honky tonkers really layin' it down
They've seen it all for years and got nothin' to lose,
so get down on the floor shimmy 'til you shake sumpin' loose

Island_Lullaby · Post by **Island_Lullaby** » May 16, 2004 1:26 am

hehehe...we prefer to say" if the tent is rockin'"...david's band does this one

stevie ray vaughn if the house is rockin

Out on runway number nine, big seven-o-seven set to go.
But I'm stuck here in the grass where the cold wind blows.
Now the liquor tasted good and the women all were fast.
Well, there she goes my friend, well, she's rolling down at last.

Hear the mighty engines roar, see the silver bird on high.
She's away and westward bound, far above the clouds she'll fly.
Where the morning rain don't fall and the sun always shines.
She'll be flying o'er my home in about three hours time.

parrotsgirl · Post by **parrotsgirl** » May 16, 2004 11:20 am

well, this one has many people that have sung it..

Gordon Lightfoot, Bob Dylan, and Eva Cassidy.....(I just heard her version yesterday)......

so that would be....Early Morning Rain...

(IB, I think we listen to the same kind of music

)

this song is in my head so I might as well use it

Go west yound man, haven't you been told
California's full of whisky, women and gold
Sleeping out all night beneath the Texas stars
Dream in my eye and a prayer in my heart

Island_Lullaby · Post by **Island_Lullaby** » May 16, 2004 6:30 pm

yes, pg, i think we do...another one of my favorite artists...

toby keith~should've been a cowboy

Crossroads, seem to come and go, yeah
The gypsy flies from coast to coast

Knowing many, loving none
Bearing sorrow havin' fun
But back home he'll always run
