When no-one else can understand me

When everything I do is wrong

You give me hope and consolation

You give me strength to carry on

[Broken Arrow]

Sometimes I'm right then I can be wrong

Everyday People...Sly and the Family Stone.

"Ain't gonna work out on the railroad, ain't gonna work out on the farm"

[bowtwi]

I know whose song this isand I can remember parts of it - just not the title yet. Is one of the words in this first line in the title?

[bulwinkl]

Hmmmm "Maggie's farm" ????? It's a guess and if it is then it's BOB dylan

[Broken Arrow]

It's not Maggie's Farm, and parts of the title are not in the first line. Here's more of the song...

"Ain't gonna work out on the railroad, ain't gonna work out on the farm.

"Gonna lay around this shack, till the mail train comes back...."

[bowtwi]

Ah, Bullwinkle - that's what I was thinking too. But now that I see the second line I know it's Rollin' In My Sweet Baby's Arms. I should've known that one right off the bat!!!

Hear that lonesome whipoorwhill.

Can't think of a new one right off hand.

Anyone want a free turn?

[Broken Arrow]

BOWTWI had the correct answer BTW.

I answered yours, then waysider answered mine and gave his turn up.

Here's the next one:

Jesus loves the little children

[waysider]

Maybe you want to pick another one?

(That's actually the title of the song.)

:)

hee hee

No, it ain't. It's the title of A song, but not this one that was a hit in 1970 on the pop charts.

[waysider]

LOL!

We have a winner, mr. waysider!!!

Every week at church as the little kids file out for children's church we sing Jesus Loves the Little Children - at the end of which I half expect to see Ray Stevens come bounding out one door or another singing this. I shared that lil fantasy with one of our music directors and she said she loved that idea and would work on a skit to that effect - hee hee hee, I hope they get it on video of they do.

Thanks for posting this song - I can't seem to post youtubes anymore.

Europe, mr. w!
