Many by John Prine "There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes"

Also agree with Kim C, I was struck by:

"There were spaces between Donald and whatever he said"

"Where have I been to, I don't know, broken fiddle and crooked bow,holes in my shoes and I'm walking slow as the last long shadows fall"

"The last thing I heard was a sound, not a word, the bangin' of the wheelhouse door"

"He smiled like the sharks off little Green Island, he had teeth all over his face" Too many Bok lines to mention, really

"I painted her as she might have been if the worst had been the best" Robert Service actually, but we sing it

"Every song in my breast dies a bornin', without you" Tom Paxton

"Next came the damn mosquitoes, they bit me fore and aft The way them diamond diggers bit was enough to drive me daft" (Reminds me of home) Trad

"A one horse place, a friendly face, some coffee and a tiny trace of fiddlin' in the distance far behind him" Dave Mallett
