6 Legs of Love (The Ewe-Turn Song)
A 50-Yard Exclusion Zone Won’t Stop Me From Lovin’ You
A 6-Pack, a 12-Gauge and 18 Wheels
Corn. Corn. Corn. Corn. More ******* Corn. **** I Hate This ******* Place
Hush My Mouth Honey, Or I’ll Spit in Your Face
If they dropped the Bomb on Oklahoma (Would Anyone Know?)
If you Had 5 Penises Like Me, You’d Wear Your Glove with Pride
Let’s Carve Our Names Dear, on That Tree Where they Lynched those Negros in ‘38
Lonesome Ewe, I’m Lonesome Too (Gustaf’s Song)
My Love’s A Two-Paper-Bag Girl (In case The Other Falls Off)
Pappy Done Move Us to Ohio, Coz he can’t Spell Arkansas
Pushed my car over the Ravine (With My Mother-in-Law in the Trunk)
Put A Compass In My Heart Jesus, To Find The Way to You
She Calls Herself a Cow-Girl, Tho From the Back its Mostly Girl-Cow
She May Be my Own Half-Sister, Still She Kisses Me Goodnight
She’s a Drinkin’ Cussin’ Fightin’ Pistol-Packin’ Momma From the 2nd Grade
There’s A Rose I Call Delores, But Monsanto Own the Patent
White Lightnin’s & Black-outs
Yes, We have No Bananas, Just Corn, More ******* Corn, and Some Corn

Well I saw the thing coming out of the sky
It had one long horn and one big eye
I commenced to shakin' and I said oo-wee
It looks like a purple people eater to me
It was a one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater
Sure looks good to me

Well, he came down to earth and he lit in a tree
I said mr Purple People Eater don't eat me
I heard him say in a voice so gruff
I wouldn't eat you 'cos you're too tough
It was a one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater
It sure looks strange to me

I said mr Purple People Eater what's your line
He said eating purple people and it sure is fine
But that's not the reason that I came to land
I wanna get a job in a rock 'n roll band
Well, bless my soul rock 'n roll flying' purple people eater
Pigeon-toed under-growed flyin' purple people eater
one-eyed one-horned it was a people eater
What a sight to see

Well, he swung from the tree and he lit on the ground
he started to rock really rockin' around
It was a crazy ditty with a swinging tune
Wop bop a lula wop bam boom
one-eyes one-horned flying people eater
Ooh, it sure looks strange to me

Well he went on his way and then what do you know
I saw him last night on a TV show
He was a blowin' it out and really knockin' them dead
Playing rock 'n roll music through the horn in his head

Well, there's more to country music
Than the hurtin' side a' life
Like takin' pride in fam'ly
And a good, warm, lovin' wife
There's more to country music
Than to leave somebody cryin'
And the cheatin'
And the lyin'

Now brothers, understand me
I don't put nobody down
'Cause we all know with what you do
Well you're the best around
But as I stand to cheer you
I'll make my feelin's clear:
There's more to country music
Than outlaws and Lone Star beer
Yeah, there's more to country music
Than outlaws and Lone Star beer

Country Songs for Funeral Service
Country-Western Memorial Service Music Ideas, Lyrics and Artists
© Janienne Jennrich Jan 19, 2008

Country music lovers find special comfort at a funeral or memorial in the touching tones and sensitive sweet words of western funeral servicemusic. Funerals services and memorial ceremonies are a healing time when people have a chance to say goodbye to those about whom they care, process their feelings, and make peace with the departing of a special person. To many mourners, the right music is a custom that can help with all these bereavement issues and more.

Feature sweet country music songs in the memorial services of those who found great pleasure in the honesty and love found in country music tunes, such as a father, grandfather, mother, or some other loved one. All of these songs can be downloaded at a small cost on iTunes or other music download sites or purchased on country music albums at stores.

Sweet Country Songs for a Child's Funeral Service
As tragic as a child's early departing is, lovely and sweet music at the memorial can help comfort loved ones and give family and friends time for reflection and closure. Here are some country music ideas for a young person's funeral service.

You Raise Me Up - An absolutely beautiful song, performed by Josh Groban. (Sample lyrics - ("You raise up so I can stand on mountains, you raise me up to walk on stormy seas, I am strong when I am on your shoulders, you raise me up to more than can be.")
I Will Take You Home - performed by the Grateful Dead. From the point of view of a father for a daughter. (Sample lyrics - Your daddy’s here and never will forget you, I will take you home. I will take you home. Gonna carry you back home In my arms. I will take you home.)
Tears in Heaven: - performed by Eric Clapton (Sample lyrics - "Would you hold my hand if I saw you in heaven? Would you help me stand if I saw you in heaven? I'll find my way through night and day, 'Cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven.") A little blues-oriented, this very special song is sung with acoustic accompaniment and is very touching as it was written after the death of Eric Clapton's own young son.
Angels among Us (Vocal Remix) - performed by Alabama (Sample lyrics - "Oh I believe there are angels among us, Sent down to us from somewhere up above They come to you and me in our darkest hours, To show us how to live, to teach us how to give, To guide us with the light of love")
Godspeed (Sweet Dreams) - performed by the Dixie Chicks. This is a gorgeous, soft country song; touching for the loss of a son. (Sample lyrics - "Godspeed, little man, Sweet dreams, little man, Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings Godspeed, Sweet dreams")

Country Music for an Adult Woman's Memorial Ceremony
I Am Weary (Let Me Rest) - performed by The Cox Family (Sample lyrics - "Seems the light is swiftly fading, Brighter scenes they do now show, I am standing by the river, Angels wait to take me home")
Will There Be Any Stars in My Crown - (traditional) performed by The Cox Family. (Sample lyrics - "I am thinking today of that beautiful land I shall reach when the sun goeth down; When through wonderful grace by my Savior I stand, Will there be any stars in my crown?")
Holes in the Floor of Heaven - performed by Steve Wariner (Sample lyrics - "And sometimes when I'm lonely, I remember she can see, There's holes in the floor of heaven and she's watchin' over you and me.")
Many of the children's songs above will work nicely for women as well.

Country Western Funeral Service Songs for a Man, Young Man, Grandfather
Ships Of Heaven - performed by Blackhawk (Sample lyrics - "Don't cry for me when I'm gone, Keep the faith and be strong, 'Cause through it all I've been blessed...")
I Don't Want to Miss a Thing - performed by Mark Chesnutt (Sample lyrics - "I just wanna hold you close, Feel your heart so close to mine, And just stay here in this moment, For all the rest of time.")
Before My Time: performed by Johnny Cash (Sample lyrics - "And there was some old song that said I love you 'til I die, Before my time, Before my time.")
Special Song for the Death of a Soldier
Song for the Dead - performed by Randy Newman. A tribute to a fallen serviceman.

Other Country Style Memorial Songs To Play at any Funeral Service
In the Sweet By and By - (Sample lyrics - "There's a land that is fairer than day, And by faith we can see it apart, For the father waits over the way, To prepare us a dwelling place there")
Instrumentals of favorite songs
Country gospel songs and favorite hymns help with bereavement

Other Ideas for Personalizing Music at a Funeral Service
Keep in mind the departed person. Who were their favorite artists and songs?
For older folks and seniors, older country classics may be most appropriate.
Consider listing songs and perhaps lyrics in the printed service program.
Most of these songs are available for download online, in music stores, or in sheet music form for a keyboardist, musician, choir or soloist singer.

I thought it was San Francisco... you notice that none of the other... performers are actually playing instruments or singing or anything. Those purple shirts... sorta queer, if you get my drift..

Are you in the US ? Or are you from some other distant land?

I see that Mr Stillwater also has no profile - but comes from that other place! Hmmmmmmmmm.......

Tho this inability to set an avatar does make the place seem like a quilt-makers forum.
