This line starts the chorus of the song, I believe. Help me find the song. I don't know the title.

HI! As Gabby Hayes might say:

Can you give us just a 'LEE-DLE MITE' more, pardner!

Hi Gene, I don't know any more than that It is a fast catchy song, some bluegrassers sing it now and then. Also looking for the words to If you got the money, honey, I got the time. Cowpie can't help for some reason Francis

Francis,

I can't remember if that's Hank Williams or Willie Nelson.

If you've got the money, honey, I've got the time, We'll go honky tonkin' And we'll have a time. Bring along your Cadillac, Leave my old wreck behind If you've got the money, honey, I've got the time.

We'll go honky tonkin' Hit every spot in town, We'll go to the park where's dark, And we'll fool around.

Well, someone will know this song. I looked in the DT and searched Cowpie under Hank Williams and Willie Nelson. This song is out there somewhere.

Roger in Baltimore

HI FRANCIS/Long time no see/hear from you...
Posted the Lefty Frizzell song in a separate thread.

Do you mean THE BROWNS/Hod Pharis tune?

I HEARD THE BLUEBIRDS SING....
I met a girl out in the hills
She gave my lonely heart a thrill...

....And still the bluebirds sing.

Great bluegrass number, assuming this is the one you mean. I wish I had someone to pick this with...Tiger

I HEARD THE BLUEBIRDS SING
Words and music by Hod Pharis
As recorded by "Jim Edward, Maxine and Bonnie Brown" [a.k.a. The Browns] (1957)

1. I met a girl out in the hills
Who gave my lonely heart a thrill.
Her beauty seemed just like a breath of spring;
And when I looked into her eyes,
I thought of bluest summer skies,
And when I held her hand in mine, I heard the bluebirds sing.

CHORUS 1: They sang of wondering (wondering if he loves her)
Will she marry (marry, if he'll ask her?)
Will her heart beat (heart beat true for him for)
Then and ever more?
And when she's lonely (lonely, is he near her?)
When there's sadness (sadness, will he cheer her?)
Will they always (always be together)
Until in death they part?

2. I courted her for months on end
Until she promised we would wed.
We planned on being married in the spring.
All through the long cold winter months,
It seemed that spring would never come,
And every gloomy winter day, I heard the bluebirds sing.

CHORUS 2: They sang of waiting (waiting for the flowers)
And of counting (counting every hour)
'Til the bluebird (bluebird chirps its welcome)
Into the world once more;
And though we're waiting (waiting for the sunshine),
We keep hating (hating every storm cloud)
That has gathered (gathered o'er the mountains)
To keep us far apart.

3. Then when at last spring touched the earth,
We were married in the village church.
Our wedding seemed just like a dream come true.
So many years have come and gone!
Our love is still as true and strong
As when I found her long ago, and still the bluebirds sing.

CHORUS 3: They sing of loving (loving every hour)
That I'm married (married to my flower).
We'll be happy (happy ever after)
As since the day we met;
And though we're older (older love is sweeter)
We grow fonder (fonder of each other).
We'll be sweethearts (sweethearts close together)
Until the end of time.

Thanks! Tiger! I know I got 'em, just can't find 'em!
