Sites To See #408

The SOLE purpose of this series is to help call attention to sites that I think many would find most interesting—in one way or another.  Just to be clear, inclusion in this series is not necessarily meant as an endorsement, and I have included sites that I found rather disturbing.  The link below each image is to the site itself, and each image is linked to the particular post from which it was taken when applicable.  Please, go see for yourself.  Oh, and as of August 10, 2012, I will be no longer including sites that have auto-play and word verification engaged.

This weekly series will include as many of my all-time favorite (ATF) tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak).  Now, each one included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered.  For I just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others.  So, this will not be a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter.  Besides, with no countdown, this could go on forever and ever!  Oh, and despite the fact that there is absolutely no way your musical tastes could be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions you might dare to make.  For I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.

Bones

Little Big Town

What goes around

Comes around

Feel it breathin' down

Heavy on you

You made that bed

You're layin' on

Deeds that you have done

Now you can't undo

You've got bones in your closet

You've got ghosts in your town

Ain't no doubt

Yeah they're gonna come out

They're waitin’ for the sun to go down

You can't hide from your demons

Feel 'em all lurkin' around

You're runnin' scared

‘Cause you know they're out there

They're waitin’ for the sun to go down

It's a long hard

Row to hoe

When seeds that you sow

Grow by the wicked moon

Be sure your sins

Will find you out

Your past

Will hunt you down

And return to tell on you

You've got bones in your closet

You've got ghosts in your town

Ain't no doubt

Yeah they're gonna come out

They're waitin’ for the sun to go down

You can't hide from your demons

Feel 'em all lurkin' around

You're runnin' scared

‘Cause you know they're out there

They're waitin’ for the sun to go down

It all stands to reason

Every dog will have his day

But your day is leavin'

Better hold on tight

It comes around

You've got bones in your closet

You've got ghosts in your town

Ain't no doubt

Yeah they're gonna come out

They're waitin’ for the sun to go down

You can't hide from your demons

Feel 'em all lurkin' around

You're runnin' scared

‘Cause you know they're out there

They're waitin’ for the sun to go down

They’re Waitin’

For the sun to go down

What goes around

Comes around

Feel it breathin' down

Heavy on you

Kenny Wayne Shepherd

It was a moonless night

It was an empty sky

It was a bad excuse

It was the only fool in sight

It was a crazy thought

A mad man’s walk

It was

It was a moonless night

It was an empty sky

It was a bad excuse

I was the only fool in sight

It was a crazy thought

A mad man’s walk

It was

I had a wanderin’ eye

She was a better time

One twisted heart

A black cat’s walkin’ by

She was a crazy thought

A mad man’s walk

She was

Oh Lord

She was

She was a long way home

Walkin’ broken bones

It wasn’t wrong or right

How deep that knife could go

It was a crazy thought

A mad man’s walk

It was

It was a crazy thought

A man man’s walk

It was

She was a hangman’s noose

I was the fool

I was

Oh I was

Yeah baby

I was

Ooh oh

Ooh ooh ooh

Oh oh

The Great Pumpkin Patch

Despite all of the fun I was having, purely from tearing back and forth across the country like a bat out of Hell (yeah, I really did go there, Pete) with its tail on fire, I would still become bored from time to time, and that is when I would take my turn at tormenting some greenhorn over the radio.  Some of my favorite targets were drivers of Schneider trucks, which were nick-named pumpkin trucks because of generally being painted orange.

I hit the jack-pot one day while having to behave myself north of Columbus, Ohio on I-71.  For after seeing a bunch of pumpkin trucks ahead of me, I asked over the radio if it was true that I could make a lot of money driving for Schneider.  Lo and behold, one of their drivers answered me by saying that it was indeed true.  I then asked him if he would tell me the truth about something, and after he said that he would if he could, I asked him if it was true that one of the bonuses for signing on with the outfit was that when a person completes one year of safe driving, they are given the location of the great pumpkin patch.

Yeah, I suppose you would have had to have been there, and I am sure glad I was.  For there was nothing but dead silence over the radio for a good five minutes after I asked about the location of the great pumpkin patch.  I mean, even the stuff that had nothing to do with the conversation I was having with that Schneider driver shut down.

Finally, someone else said that possibly learning the location of the great pumpkin patch was enough to get them to at least think about signing up, and then the radio went silent again.  Since no one ran off of the road from laughing too hard, I think a good time was had by all—except for maybe the Schneider drivers within radio range, of course.

That was an excerpt from [The Sixteenth Crumb] of The Crackerhead Chronicles.  Alas, my chicken-haulin’ days are long gone in my side mirrors, but the great pumpkin patch is still out there.  By the way, if you are a big Snoopy fan, it might be worth your while to make it back by this site next Monday (November 3, 2014).

With a purposeful grimace and a terrible sound

He pulls the spitting high tension wires down

Helpless people on a subway train

Scream for God as He looks in on them

He picks up a bus and he throws it back down

As he wades through the buildings toward the center of town

Oh no

A Sunday Drive

Back during our childhood, our parents would often load up my brother and me after Sunday morning church services for a leisurely drive around where we lived.  Even though we were seeing mostly familiar sights, it was still good to see them again, and this is why “A Sunday Drive” sounded about right for the name of a series revisiting familiar sites that are well worth seeing again and again.  The link below the image is to the site itself, and the image is linked to the post it was first included in here.

Polk Salad Annie

Tony Joe White

If some of ya'll never been down south too much

I'm gonna tell you a little bit about this

So that you'll understand

What I'm talkin' about

Down there we have a plant that grows

Out in the woods and in the fields

Looks somethin' like a turnip green

And everybody calls it

Polk salad

Polk

Salad

Used to know a girl lived down there

And she'd go out in the evenings

And pick her a mess of it

Carry it home

And cook it for supper

'Cause that’s about all they had to eat

But they did all right

Down in Louisiana

Where the alligators grow so mean

There lived a girl

That I swear to the world

Made the alligators look tame

Polk salad Annie

Polk salad Annie

Everybody said it was a shame

‘Cause her momma was a-workin'

On the chain gang

A mean vicious woman

Every day for supper time

She'd go down by the truck patch

And pick her a mess of polk salad

And carry it home in a tow sack

Polk salad Annie

The gators got your granny

Chomp

Chomp Chomp

Everybody says it was a shame

‘Cause her momma was a-workin'

On the chain gang

A wretched

Spiteful

Straight razor-totin' woman

Lord have mercy

Pick me a mess of it

Her daddy was lazy

And no count

Claimed he had a bad back

All her brothers were fit for

Was stealin' watermelons

Out of my truck patch

Polk salad Annie

The gators got your granny

Everybody said it was a shame

‘Cause her momma was a workin'

On the chain gang

Sock a little polk salad to me

You know I need me a mess of it

Got to have me

A ladle of it

Marie LaVeau

Bobby Bare

Down in Louisiana

Where the black trees grow

Lives a voodoo lady

Named Marie LeVeau

She got a black cat tooth

And a mojo bone

And anyone wouldn't

Leave her alone

She’d go

Greeeeeee

Another man done gone

She lives in a swamp

In a hollow log

With a one-eyed snake

And a three-legged dog

She got a bent bony body

And stringy hair

And if she ever seen you-all

Messin' ‘round there

She’d go

Greeeeeee

Another man done gone

And then one night

When the moon was black

Into the swamp

Come Handsome Jack

A no good man

Like you-all know

When he was lookin' around

For Marie LeVeau

He said

Marie LeVeau

You lovely witch

Gimme a little charm

That'll make me rich

Gimme a million dollars

And I tell you what I'll do

This very night

I'm gonna marry you

And it'll be

Ummmmmmm

Another man done gone

So Marie done some magic

And she shook a little sand

Made a million dollars

And she put it in his hands

Then she giggled

And she wiggled

And she said

Hey hey

I'm gettin' ready

For my weddin' day

But ol' Handsome Jack

He said goodbye Marie

You're too damn ugly

For a rich man like me

Then Marie started numblin'

Her fangs started gnashin'

Her body started tremblin'

And her eyes started flashin'

And she went

Greeeeeee

Another man done gone

So if you ever get down

Where the black trees grow

And meet a voodoo lady

Named Marie LeVeau

If she ever asks you

To make her your wife

Man you better stay with her

For the rest of your life

Or it'll be

Ooooo weee

Another man done gone
