Liz: It means "forest"??? I've never read that (and I've had reason to read quite a bit about the name over the years)! I've read that it means "plain" as a place name, and also that it means "princess". Where did you find the info on "forest"?


Freightdawg, that was so beautiful... *sniff* :,^)

There's another "I Ain't Sharin' Sharon" song, by Hank Williams Jr.

...and yet another "I Ain't Sharin' Sharon" performed by James Darren. I can't find the lyrics posted anywhere, but you can hear a clip at Yahoo Music and elsewhere.

We also have: "S.H.A.R.O.N." by Deacon Blue & Ricky Ross

"Sharon" by David Bromberg

"Rose of Sharon" by Xiu Xiu

"Rose of Sharon" by Kevin Clay

...and the hymn "Jesus, Rose of Sharon"

Then there's "Sherry Baby" by Frankie Valli, which is a bit of a stretch, but as a kid my family called me Sherry (and my older brothers used to sing that song at me to tease me!).
