I was counting on Meyers to indicate the tunes from this century, but alas...

Give me some time. Busy weekend.

Company of Thieves - Delta Saints (this century too )

The saddest of them all, The Green Green Grass Of Home. I believe it was originally recorded by Porter Wagner and covered by many male and female artists. This is Dean Martin's recording, which I believe is the most poignant.

Here is Joan Baez singing a Dylan written song about a bank robbery, a murder, and more. It is a complex long plot for a song, but intelligible ... after all it was Dylan I also supplied links to background info (a detailed wikipedia entry) and lyrics (worth a skim). The lyrics, when read to Baez by Dylan, supposedly inspired her to write the classic "Diamonds and Rust".



Lyrics for "Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts" by Bob Dylan

Two more that are definitely not domestic.

Nice, but wrong thread. (I know they all run together after awhile.)

 

[meyers7]

A whole song about robbing a bank....unsuccessfully.

Get 'em Up - Nickelback

 

[meyers7]

Another Johnny Cash song - Cocaine Blues (all about killing his old lady)
