Subject: Lyr Add: WHEN YOU SEE THOSE FLYING SAUCERS
Let's see now. 19 Jul 99 ~~ Shoot, that isn't even four years yet and here they are! Now whether John Servaice is still around to see them, that is another matter. That was his only post, but perhaps he is still around, using another name.

As to the sound ~~ imagine the Blue Sky Boys or a lighter hearted Monroe Brothers sound, complete with guitar & mandolin backing, with a fiddle break after two verses.

WHEN YOU SEE THOSE FLYING SAUCERS
as sung by the Buchanan Brothers, 1947

You'd better pray to the Lord
When you see those flying saucers
It may be the coming of the judgement day
It's a sign, there's no doubt
Of the trouble that's about
So I say my friend, you'd better start to pray

They're a terrifying sight
As they fly on day and night
It's a warning that we'd better mend our way
You'd better pray to the Lord
When you see those flying saucers
It may be the coming of the judgement day

Many people think the saucers
Might be someone's foolish dream
Or maybe they were sent down here from Mars
If you'll just stop and think
You'd realize just what it means
They're more than atom bombs or falling stars

And though the war may be through
There's unrest and trouble brewing
And those flying saucers may be just a sign
That if peace doesn't come
It will be the end of some
So repent today, you're running out of time

When you see a saucer fly
Like a comet through the sky
You should realize the price you'll have to pay
You'd better pray to the Lord
When you see those flying saucers
It may be the coming of the judgement day
