Thread Name: Songs that hook you with One Great Line
Subject: RE: Songs that hook you with One Great Line
Up above a ways, Clinton Hammond quoted:

"Old Deacon he could drink and curse though he still quoted sacred verse
He was sheriff, judge, he owned the hearse, a man you did not anger"

A year or so ago, in this thread, I quoted:

You horsehair-braiding sons of bitches
Stole my claim to earthly riches.
Someone go and dig a ditch,
There may well be a hangin'!

Both from Tom Russell, "The Sky Above, the Mud Below"

Pretty good score for one song.

Peter.
