Subject: RE: 'Conversation' songs
Black girl, black girl, don't lie to me.
Tell me where did you sleep last night
.
In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines,
And I shivered the whole night through.
Black girl, black girl, where'd you get that dress,
That silken dress of red?
I got it from a railroad man, for lying in his bed. (etc., etc.)

And how about one based on one side of a conversation? "The Chair" by George Strait. Interesting genre. Reminds me of La Chute, a whole novel comprising the voice of one character in conversation with one other who never speaks. Anybody read it?
