There were chickens on the bumper
Feathers in the grill
Rosebushes in the wheel wells
And a pig on my windshield
Let's see if THAT helps

Just a wild shot at the name of the song, "Oh My Darlin', Clementine"? ;D
Or maybe, "She'll Be Comin' 'Round the Mountain"?

Is it a possible Kenny Roger's song? I swear I have heard those lyrics, just can't "pull 'em from my memory. This just came to me, "Charlene, Charlene Don't Take Your Love To Town"?

Methinks I may have gotten too obscure this time......update at supper time. In the mean time.....
Well, Charlene (last name) was prettier than most
But it turned out she was deaf as a post
A condition I was not aware of until......................................

There were lovers on the bumper
Picnic baskets in the grill
Wrapped around the fenders what was left of a moonshine still
There was a wounded patrolman on my windshield yellin' "you'll get three to five"

Ray Stevens sure has some really cute songs he has recorded. Whew!! No "kicking myself in the rear". lol
I let a few minutes pass to see if anyone has a new question to present just yet. So here is the next one for inquiring minds:
During World War II what tribe of Native Americans were recruited for the use of their native language for coded messages?

The Navajo. The movie Windtalkers follows a couple of them, one portrayed by Adam Beach. Was on History Channel the other night........still haven't seen the whole thing, Cage puts me to sleep.
