Boney Fingers?
I am not familiar with that one, but I am sure they would object to her somewhat autobiographical "I'll keep on falling in love 'Til I get it right" or I Don't Wanta Play House.
Another C&W song that would be off their charts is Courtesy of the Red While and Blue. While it was aimed at Osama, I don't think the ayatollahs would like the message.
Let's all think on that.Originally Posted by Steve Blair
Boney Fingers was penned by Hoyt Axton and is not too far from the class of C&W tunes that I Don't Wanta Play House lies in. One of my all-time favorite C&W tunes, and I may be wrong about Ms. Wynette singing it.,.Hoyt had a minor hit with it but someone else hit big with it in the late 60s. It is written to be one of those back and forth duets for a man and a woman to sing together, as is evident from the lyrics.
See the rain comin' down and the roof won't hold 'er
Lost my job and I feel a little older
Car won't run and our love's grown colder
But maybe things'll get a little better, in the mornin'
Maybe things'll get a little better.
Oh! the clothes need washin' and the fire won't start
Kids all cryin' and you're breakin' my heart
Whole darn place is fallin' apart
Maybe things'll get a little better, in the mornin'
Maybe things'll get a little better.
Refrain:
Work your fingers to the bone - whadda ya get?
( Whoo-whoo ) Boney Fingers - Boney Fing-gers.
Yea! I've been broke as long as I remember
Get a little money and I gotta run and spend 'er
When I try to save it, pretty woman come and take it
Sayin' maybe things'll get a little better, in the mornin'
Maybe things'll get a little better.
Refrain
Yea! the grass won't grow and the sun's too hot
The whole darn world is goin' to pot
Might as well like it 'cause you're all that I've got
But, maybe things'll get a little better, in the mornin'
Maybe things'll get a little better.
Refrain
