Thread Name: The Saddest Song of All
Subject: RE: The Saddest Song of All
Dear BSeed/Charles Kratz: I fail to see what's so funny about rhyming "nursery" with "mercy"? Please explain. And kuddos to all who mentioned Stan Rogers' "First Christmas" and the fellow who pointed out the actual title of Tom Waits' "Waltzing Matilda" ("Tom Traubert's Blues"): the computer was drinking, not me. Do I dare mention Billy Holliday's classic wrist-slasher, "Gloomy Sunday"? Oops, I guess I did. Love and saddness to you all.
