Subject: RE: saddest lines in song
Several come to mind:
A Long Road Home - Mickey Newbury:
@They tell me old Bud Rose hocked his guitar
Bought a ticket to Nashville to become a big star
Now he works on a bottle and he lives in a car;
Do you still have your dreams? "
Valley of Strathmore -
"If time were a thing man could buy
All the money I have in store
I would give for one night by her side
In the valley of Strathmore"
Bury me Not on the Lone Prairie :
"We paid no heed to his dying prayer....in a narrow grave six by three
We buried him there on the lone prairie"
Hank Wilkiams:
"I' m so lonesome I could cry"
Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll - Bob Dylan:
"Now is the time for your tears. "
The Valley of Strathmore
If time were a thing man could buy
All the money I have in store
I would give for one day at her side
In the valley of Strathmore
