Game: The Junk Train Song

15 years ago

Jeannespines, that famous country music artist, sparked my creative juices. Let's start a Junk Train song!

Here are the rules: Add a line to the song...only one line. (You can always add an additional line later on!) Once a line has been added, you can't change the line. You can, however, add the next line!

This will keep us busy and excited while we're waiting for the Junk Train to head our way! Bear Hugs! Kirk

First line:

"OH, THE JUNK TRAIN IS A COMIN"..."

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?

Need to do: paint potting shed, help DH build a deck by our new used pool. Want to do: >use found broken concrete to lay a small patio area in front of potting shed (after it's painted) and plant wooly thyme in between. >Find my box of stained glass pieces (from a stained glass class DH and I took when I turned 30 - now buried somewhere after 2 moves) to try a mosaic - I LOVE the What a Wonderful World idea (can I borrow it?). >Find a decorative piece of metal wall art that my Dad cut in half for me the summer before last and attach stained glass pieces that I cut in another class (a one afternoon session) - I had the glass but could not think of a way to display it, then I bought the metal piece which my Dad cut for me, but then I could not find the glass. Now I want to find both and attach. >Permanently attach pvc pipes that DH and I temporarily have attached together to form a windspinner (from a link that someone recommended here) and hang it up. >Stop my pattern of working on projects in such slow motion that I lose the pieces before I ever complete them. >Stop coming to this wonderful website because it gives me too many wonderful ideas. Good luck all, Colleen

Kirk and Carol's Junk Jamboree Is Rolling

Kirk, It seems like 1/2 the country had to go to school half of June. I knew that included you. Since you are still in the teaching mode you have to give me an A for enthusiasm (We wont talk about grading my spelling, deal?) TooMuchGlass and I are "Gun Jumpers". We are chomping at the bit. Dancing around the fairie mushroom ring (I said "Dancing" not partaking). We have glue in our hair and wood stain under our nails. TooMuchGlass may even have welding blisters. Got my GARDYLOO JUNK JAMBOREE GIFT wrapped yesterday. (Only because I had the extra time and the strong inspiration.) Now the trick for me is to get to the Post Office. For some reason that is not anywhere near any of my usual destinations. When I do pass an unexpected post office I usually do not have my packages with me. That is usually a good time for me to practice "My French" in the privacy of my car. But I want to wait until You and Carol say, GO-O-O-OO!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

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.
