Do we have a melody?

It has the melody to that song... "I hear the train a comin'. It's comin" down the tracks..." Isn't that a Johnny Cash song? Jeannespines?

It has the tune to Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues", I'll link his song below. Let's hear your lines! :o) Bear Hugs! Kirk

Here is a link that might be useful: The tune

It's a coming down the track

It's carrying treasured Junk and it ain't lookin back....

Maybe there's glass for dish flowers and totems toooooooo...

But when that junk box gets to TEXAS, see what I do!

Here's what we have so far....plus my added line..

OH, THE JUNK TRAIN IS A COMINÂÂ
It's a coming down the trackÂ
It's carrying treasured Junk and it ain't lookin back....
Maybe there's glass for dish flowers... and totems toooooooo...
But when that junk box gets to TEXAS, see what I do!

Yes, the Junk Train is a movinÂÂ

Up Michigan, that way...

(Ahhh, takes me back to teen and young love days! Yeah, that's Johnny's song, all right, Kirk! Good listenin' & seein' the video) What a great thread you've started! Too much FUN! Jeanne S.)

Yes, the Junk Train is a movinÂÂ
Up Michigan, that way...
Along the rail it's groovin'
should get there any day.

So, keep it movin', all full of junk~

It's just a flat rate box, but I wish it was a trunk.

So when the Junk Train gets to your house,
don't forget about JT,
she's our Junk Train mascot,

(Now I'm going to have this melody stuck in my head all day.)

Kirk,

Does there need to be another line interjected after line #20? If we do, Hubs, totally intrigued by "Junk Thang's Picture" said we could add:

"J.T.'s riding shotgun and looking mighty tough". That would rhyme with "stuff".

You may want to save this possibility for last because I have posted two lines already.

Susie

Sounds good to me, susieroses...I'll fix it ... here's the original JC lyrics(kind of, like, 8 lines:

I hear the train a comin'
It's rollin' 'round the bend,
And I ain't seen the sunshine,
Since, I don't know when,
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison,
And time keeps draggin' on,
But that train keeps a-rollin',
On down to San Antone.

When I was just a baby,
My Mama told me, "Son,
Always be a good boy,
Don't ever play with guns,"
But I shot a man in Reno,
Just to watch him die,
When I hear that whistle blowin',
I hang my head and cry.

I bet there's rich folks eatin',
In a fancy dining car,
They're probably drinkin' coffee,
And smokin' big cigars,
But I know I had it comin',
I know I can't be free,
But those people keep a-movin',
And that's what tortures me.

Well, if they freed me from this prison,
If that railroad train was mine,
I bet I'd move out over a little,
Farther down the line,
Far from Folsom Prison,
That's where I want to stay,
And I'd let that lonesome whistle,
Blow my Blues away.

(thanks, susieroses & hubs)...we're ready to roll again! Jeanne S. I know you wrote this to Kirk but I stuck my nose in & just am ROTFL ...! and my e-mail before was not divided up...just keep singing EVERYONE! It's addictive! Tip of the moment: I had to hit "enter" twice after each stanza (?) to get spaces in-between...otherwise, it all bunched tog. again.

She's guarding from Jesse James all her garden junk stuff.

Don't know how to carry all stanzas' forward in post???????
