Mama said, "you all remember to wipe your feet"

[Eyesa Horg]

Don't forget to wash your hands.

It was the dark of the moon
On the sixth of June
In a Kenworth, pullin' logs
Cabover Pete with a reefer on
And a Jimmy haulin' hogs
We was headin' for bear
On 'I-1-0
'Bout a mile out Shakey Town
I says, Pig Pen this here's the Rubber Duck
And I'm about to put the hammer down

[Rye Miles #13621]

For those of you who forgot …..

Thank you for clearing that up. ‘Cuz I don’t remember nothin’ ‘bout hammers and rubber ducks in “Ode to Billie Joe”. 😄

 

I think I’ve acquired ADD from trying to follow these “ricochet” threads in the Saloon. Another round on me barkeep!

[watab kid]

i recall it both from the pop charts and the country charts as i was listening to both , didnt realize all the legal fare behind the scenes , mthat writeup covered everything id ever heard about the song except why she decided to give up the career 

[Alpo]

Something I always wondered about that song.

 

It's a little family farm. Daddy and brother and sister work the farm.

 

Brother got married and moved to Tupelo.

 

The virus got Daddy and he's dead.

 

Mama's depressed and don't want to do nothing, so she's obviously not out working in the fields.

 

How is Mama and sister surviving? Don't sound like sister's doing much farming, being up on the ridge throwing flowers in the river.

 

They sharecropping out their farm?

Maybe like Willie says, “It’s all going to pot”!

BTW the bridge referenced in the song is long gone.

Boot camp or did you wet yourself....or both?  Don't laugh.  I've seen it happen.

[Gracos Kid]

Fifty-Nine years ago I was 13 years old, working in the hay field for a dairy farmer that had baled his hay, riding and stacking on the big truck.    Wound up breaking my back, both wrists, three ribs and being paralyzed when a wooden ramp support beam collapsed as the truck was being driven into the second floor of a nice modern barn, pitching me over the side and falling about 30 feet.  Lay flat of my back for two solid months without touching the floor, paralysis subsided and have been walking ever since.  Have been blessed all these years to have survived.....

But meanwhile, at the hospital at Carlisle Army Barracks, Pennsylvania, Pulp was making a rather loud entry into the world.
