Alex A HUNDRED AND SIXTY ACRES (Dave Kapp) I got a hundred and sixty acres in the valley Got a hundred and sixty acres of the best Got an old stove there that'll cook three square And a bunk where I can lay me down to rest. Up at dawn to greet the sun I've forgotten what a care or worry means Head for home when day is done With my pocket money jinglin' in my jeans I´ve got a hundred and sixty acres full of sunshine Got a hundred and sixty million stars above Got an old paint hoss, I'm the guy who's boss On the hundred and sixty acres that I love Up at dawn to greet the sun I´ve forgotten what a care or worry means Head for home when day is done With my pocket money jinglin' in my jeans I´ve got a hundred and sixty acres full of sunshine Got a hundred and sixty million stars above Got an old paint hoss, I'm the guy who's boss On the hundred and sixty acres that I love Got an old paint hoss, I'm the guy who's boss On the hundred and sixty acres that I love © Claremont Music, Inc.

14 Sep 09 - 03:26 AM (#2723155) Subject: ADD: A Hundred and Sixty Acres From: Joe Offer Here's the whole thing, as recorded by the Sons of the Pioneers. I don't have the date of this recording. Melissa, what do you hear for the kind of stove? Best I can guess is "coal stove," although it sounds more like "cold stove." A HUNDRED AND SIXTY ACRES (Dave Kapp) I've got a hundred and sixty acres in the valley. I've got a hundred and sixty acres of the best. Got a coal(?) stove there that'll cook three squares, And a bunk where I can lay me down to rest. Up at dawn to greet the sun, I've forgotten what a care or worry means. Head for home when day is done And the pocket money's jinglin' in my jeans. I've got a hundred and sixty acres full of sunshine. I've got a hundred and sixty million stars above.

14 Sep 09 - 04:30 AM (#2723183) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 160 acres/A Hundred and Sixty Acres From: Melissa Cold Stove might make sense if it was a hotplate or something like that. Not needing a fire would keep it from heating the bunkhouse. It would sure be easier than wrapping up an exhausting day working the 160. |
15 Sep 09 - 02:23 AM (#2723911) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 160 acres/A Hundred and Sixty Acres From: Joe Offer Yes, I'd agree it's a "bay horse" on the Riders in the Sky recording, but it's "Paint" on the Sons of the Pioneers version. Otherwise, the two recordings have more-or-less the same lyrics. -Joe- |
