Jamestown Ferry to Suffolk
not all country music is about love24 total reviews
Comment from bard owl
This is great. It is the epitome of a "he done me wrong song". I haven't heard of the Jamestown Ferry, but it was a nice touch adding it to your poem. I hadn't heard the one from Barbara Mandrell. Best of luck in the contest. Blessings, Linda

thanks, Linda. I hadn't heard it, either. I was looking up another of her songs and stumbled across this one and just couldn't resist. LOL. love, jan
Comment from Lady & Louis
I hate to tell you this, Baroness, but it's not the worst country song... the original is much, much worse. Yours has its tongue in its cheek, something country seems sorely lacking, from what I've heard. I'd far sooner listen to yours than B Mandrell's!
Best of luck in the contest...

I know that feeling! I went for years without writing anything much. It was good to get back to it!

to be honest, Wendyanne, neither had I until I was looking for another one of Barbara's songs last night. when I saw this one, knew I had to do something with it due to the proximity to my home. love, jan
Comment from volunteer angel
I loved your poem/song about the Jamestown Ferry. "When he tries to make love to that upright Electrolux" got a laugh out of me. You know you could add the music to this by going on line and looking for a midi for the Jamestown Ferry song. Once you have the song playing, right click on it and click "Save Target As". Then a page will come up and you can save it in your documents. From there you go to the Edit page on here and browse for that song. Pull it up and upload it. Good luck in the contest. V.A.

Comment from Falafa
That is an interesting contest. It actually might be quite hard to write a 'bad' song lyric and still have it rhyme. You've done well here, in my humble opinion. Thanks for the opportunity to read it and good luck in the contest.

Comment from grassroots08
My dad penned the lyrics to a new song, and when he passes, the kids all got it out again. Maybe we should try and get this piece up on the charts. It is a great country western tune. Thanks for your piece. it brought back some memories when my dad was calling square dances and would sing, play guitar, and fiddle a little too, all on the radio. Good fortune to you in the contest, grassroots08

Comment from earthlybeing
Loved it. It is a great play on the words reversing them and it makes sense as it unfolds. Moves along well and is easy to understand. Well done. Thanks, Jeanette
