I can't remember who did it originally...My sister had it on a Tracey Ullman album in the 80's....Life is a Rock....

There's so many times I've let you down,
So many times I've played around,
I tell you now they don't mean a thing.

Leaving on a jet plane - multiple artists, probably best known by Peter Paul & Mary

Mother life, hold firmly on to me.
Catch my knowledge higher than the day.
Lose as much as only you can show.
Though you've seen me, please don't say a word.
What I don't know, I have never shared.

Leaving on a Jet Plane. Wrote by John Denver. Robbie Fulks does a great version of this song as well.

Yes - Starship Trooper

Especially cowgirls they're the gypsy kind
And need their reins laid on 'em loose
She's lived to see the world turned upside down
Hitchin' rides out of the blue

Even Cowgirls Get The Blues---- Emmylou Harris

Here is one for all you Canadians

The queen of George Street just went walkin’ on by
walkin’ on by with some guy who don’t care
that she stood in line since half past nine
and spent three hours on her hair

Her friend is lookin’ at me with an evil grin
I think a bloody racket might soon begin
I must have said something to the George Street queen
now the boys are joining in.

So I drank all of my money and I slept out in the rain
Every day is different, but the nights are all the same
You never see the sun on the old black rum
and I know I’m gonna do it again.

GREAT BIG SEA - The Old Black Rum

I'm impressed Cate....

Well, you ned to hear the song in its entirety to get it and have some idea of how fond Canadians (particularly those from the Atlantic Provinces!!!!) are of dark rum! The chorus is one every respectable Maritimer can sing, shout or scream along with whatever band is playing it :

Well the old black rum's got a hold on me
Like a dog wrapped 'round my leg
The old black rum's got a hold on me
Will I live for another day? HEEEEEEYYYYY
Will I live for another day?

Reminds me of Maine, and the 20 plus Summers I spent there..

I love Great Big Sea. They come here a couple times a year. Their live show is one of the best.

Ayuh . . . been to Maine!

Dark rum warms the blood on these cold, cold nights. Or anytime for that matter!!!

Boise, Idaho. They have a following here because we used to have a summer festival that was big here, and they played the grand finale concert one year. Their energy was awesome. Since then they come back quite a bit.
