31 Dec 06 - 01:42 AM (#1922877) Subject: Lyr Req: 'Good Times Outweigh Bad' Lester Flatt From: Ebbie Today I was at a mini-concert followed by a slow jam put on by Washingtonian (State) Cliff Perry and Stewart Eric(?) and they sang 'The Good Times Outweigh the Bad" or something to that effect, written by Lester Flatt. I liked it a lot. I thought I could find it on the Net, him being gone so long, but I have found nothing. Does anyone here know this song? |

Yes I've worked the cotton in the heat of the day And then paid the landlord nearly all that I made Well I've seen high water take all that I had But I still think the good things outweigh the bad Well I've rocked my babies... |

That went to the following at the top of the page that opened: "Folk Music Index - Good O to GowzThere's A Good Time Coming; Songs of the Hutchinson Family , Smithsonian N 020, LP (1978), ...

31 Dec 06 - 02:39 AM (#1922906) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Good Times Outweigh Bad' Lester Flatt From: Peace LOL. You know, if "the pompitous of love" could make it as a rock lyric, nicetudinous has a chance. Slim, but a chance. |

01 Jan 07 - 06:20 AM (#1923837) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'Good Times Outweigh Bad' Lester Flatt From: Ron Davies Haven't seen nicetudinousness much in print. But, Ebbie, you do embody it. And I just ran across a word that would be close to it in a dictionary--when nicetudinousness makes it into a dictionary--if we, the people start using it. Anyway the word I found was "nictitating". As in "A tree frog's nictitating membrane. an extra eyelid, veils the eye without blocking sight." There are always new words to learn. And right below it in the online dictionary was "palpebrate"--to wink or blink esp. repeatedly. You know, like Loretta Lynn sang "I'm gonna tell all you barrroom floozies/ Better get out while you can/ You better take my advice and if you palpebrate more than twice/ You better have something in your eye." Something like that. |

That's a given. And if you eat enough of them good things, it's a damn cinch that YOU will soon outweigh both the good and the bad --- and the ugly as well!!!!!!!!!! Art ;-) |

Any country music fan that is missing out on Marty's RFDTV show should start checking it out. Don't blow it off as "hokey" without watching first. This guy is doing what few others are today...REAL honest-to-goodness COUNTRY MUSIC. |
