Guess the song!

[Algonquin]

Bump...

SuperSwede... I think the honour is yours! :

Lay one on us.

PS... I can't help think of Borje Salming when I see your Avatar.

"Early next mornin' bout a half past nine I spied the sheriff coming down the line
Talked and he coughed as he cleared his throat
He said come on you dirty heck into that district court
Into the courtroom my trial began where I was handled by twelve honest men
Just before the jury started out I saw the little judge commence to look about"

[Spudman***]

That's a classic.

[sunvalleylaw]

Is that Cash, Folsom Prison Blues,

Nah, just looked it up. Not correct.

Cocaine Blues. I don't think this is the Johnny Cash version, George Thorogood maybe??

[SuperSwede]

T_ross that is correct.. its Johnny Cash - Cocaine Blues!

[sunvalleylaw]

Shoot, I was actually close for once. Good job T-Ross.

How about this one?

I was cutting the rug
Down at a place called the jug
With a girl named Linda Lu
When in walked a man
With a gun in his hand
And he was looking for you know who.

He said, hey there fellow,
With the hair colored yellow,
Watcha tryin' to prove?
cause thats my woman there
And I'm a man who cares
And this might be all for you.

[Tone2TheBone]

I like easy to guess lyrics like this YES!

[Spudman***]

Too easy Robert. I'll leave it for someone else.

Actually I heard that song on the radio today. It's Judas Priest's "Turbo Lover". OK, it's really Leonard Skinard's (<- note: metric spelling) "Gimme Three Steps".

Here's one for you:
"Maybe I might have changed
And not been so cruel
Not been such a fool
Whatever is done is done
I just can't recall
It doesn't matter at all"

I'll take either the original artist or the band that covered it that I'm thinking of

[Spudman***]

I'm in the dark as to who did a cover version of this. I didn't know you listened to this kind of stuff. I remember when this came out. I was 12 and was just getting into Yes, Moody Blues, ELP. Wow. Memories...misty water colored memories.

Why don't you fill everyone else in on the artist/title and I'll tell you the cover artist

[Brian Krashpad]

T_ross that is correct.. its Johnny Cash - Cocaine Blues!

It's been covered a lot. A lesser-known cover of it by a fairly famous band is on a middle-period Soul Asylum album, just prior to them becoming famous.

From The Beginning - Emerson LAke and Palmer.

[Tone2TheBone]

No way, I missed that! I play that on my acoustic all the time frik!

[marnold***]

From The Beginning - Emerson LAke and Palmer.

As covered by none other than Dokken! I've got it on their album "Dysfunctional", but that clip is from "One Live Night."

Hint: This guy is growing up.

To keepin' silence I resigned

My friends would think I was a nut

Turning water into wine

Open doors would soon be shut

So I went from day to day

Tho' my life was in a rut

"Till I thought of what I'd say

Which connection I should cut

I was feeling part of the scenery

I walked right out of the machinery

My heart going boom boom boom

"Hey" he said "Grab your things

I've come to take you home."

Back home.
