Thread Name: (Quiz) What song is this line from ?
Subject: RE: (Quiz) What song is this line from ?
And these also remain unguessed so far:

G-16 "This earth is just rehearsal for when I'm heaven bound."
(Written and recorded by one of our own most beloved Mudcatters - and a song with poignant personal significance.)

G-17 " Well I never will believe what another woman says, let her be white, yeller, dark or brown,
Unless she is on some high gallows tree and a-sayin that she wants to come down. "
(Trad, I believe, and recorded by one of our most famous Mudcatters.)

G-18 "When we sing, a spark within us wakes & is fanned into a flame.
To those who hear our spirit's voice, it calls in them the same"
(Written and recorded by one of our prolific Mudcatter songwriters.)

G-20 "I got three hot kitties begging, pretty pretty,
Just to go out on the town at night.
...
Sometimes I turn-a my back & they slip through a crack,
And those down town pussies get more than I do!"
(Written and recorded by one of our other prolific Mudcatter (male) songwriters, FOR another (female) Mudcatter -- as part of an auction, I think.)

Hint: These particular Mudcatter-spawned songs all have something additional in common.   The prize money doubles for whoever can figure out what that common bond is. ยง;-D


====================================================
Non-Mudcatter songs:

G-6 "We'll have to walk down where the fields are overgrown.
Consumption's claimed his life and we dare not miss the sight ... "
(Hint: The singer I learned it from is now married to the songwriter.)


G-8 "Oh, it's fine to pass away, but when people start to pay,
That's no time for a businessman to die!" (Hint: lesser-known song from a very well-known US songwriter. One of his earlier compositions after immigrating to the US and breaking onto the music scene of Tin Pan Alley.)
