Isn't it interesting (I think this already been ramarked) how what we consider to be the worst lines are from the rock world and not the folk or country area. Kendall thinks that line from Poor Ellen Smith to be bad (I sing that one slightly differently) but every so often Alton Delmore reached too far for a rhyme, most egregious example that I have is I just saw a whipporwill a-talkin' to a bear They were both a-laughin' bout her givin' me the air She left me standing, standing on a mountain, she left me standing way up there
