Let's start the week on a cheery note -- songs about Death! (Maybe second only to Love as a song subject)

[CTtoSanDiego]

I'll start us off with a spooky, little known song from the 60's (lots of songs about death and dying back then). Laurie (Strange Things Happen) by Dicky Lee

I've used this before I'm pretty sure, but it definitely fits. Plus, Zora...

On the other road again...

From the sweet by and by...(that song too)

Another tune from Oh, Brother Where Art Thou. Pure and sweet as can be.

More from The Pretty Reckless. Stripped down accoustic version, hadn't heard it before, but I like it.

 

[Hoops66]

Bluegrass song about passing...

 

[Bama fan]

 

[nwhoopfan]

Another tune from Oh, Brother Where Art Thou. Pure and sweet as can be.

The Cox Family sure can sing a tearjerker! (and now another one popped up after this)

 

[Hoops66]

And from Dolly...

 

[nwhoopfan]

Vince, Ricky and Patty. Not a bad trio.
