(Read only, anymore; sorry.)
Short version of rules
Without using a search engine to find one, write down at least eight words of a song containing the word (or the topic, if it's a general topic).
If it's the newest word, play once, and wait for another player to play before you go again.
On older words, you can play over and over without waiting!

Deborah, I thought about Utah Carol, but I figured his name was like "Texas Bill." But then in the funeral verse it goes "We hope we'll all meet Utah in the roundup far away..."
I have this one:

(I think that's right...I'll probably listen later and be appalled by how wrong I got the lyrics. Wish this were a live game, though, because my enthusiastic singing would definitely compensate for any inaccuracies.)
Okay, having played the song, I decided it wasn't cheating to check the lyrics, which I did using Project Playlist. They are:
I don't think Ms. June will be waiting outside/ Someone told her the truth, now she's packed up and waved goodbye.
"Ms. June"
