Story Telling Songs.

[Bigbad]

I do like a song that tells a story.
What are your favourites?

[Bigbad]

Thanks for all the input, folks. Keep ‘em coming.
So far we’ve had some I’ve never heard of and some I’d forgotten about.
I will get round to listening to them all.

“Billy Mac is a detective down in Texas,
You know he knows just exactly what the facts is”

Brillant rhyme!

Bigbad do you know Marty Robbins wrote El Paso and then later wrote "Feleena" the story of the Mexican girl in El Paso? My favourite, also written & sung by Marty Robbins is Big Iron.

[Bigbad]

No I didn't, vulcan42.
Thanks for that.

Vulcan do you know a song about someone flying over the El Paso song's location in a helicopter and remembering it from a previous life ( my Grandmother has always sworn this song exists but doesn't know what it's called)? Thanks x
