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!

Oh wow! I get to go first with a brutally meaningful song.
Southern trees bear a strange fruit.
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root.
Black bodies swinging in the Southern breeze.
Strange fruit hanging from those Southern trees.
Strange Fruit - popularized by Billie Holiday
When you see the Southern Cross
For the first time
You understand now
Why you came this way
Crosby Stills Nash & Young
Southern Man
better keep your head
Don't forget
what your good book said
-Southern Man by Neil Young
So I only know the responsorial part of this. I know the tune, but no "verses."
Well we blah blah blah blah blah blah
Oh I wish I were in Plymouth (or somewhere) now
La la la la la la la la
We're bound for South Australia
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember,
A southern man don't need him around anyhow
Sweet Home Alabama ~ Lynyrd Skynyrd
And Southern girls
well the way they talk,
they knock me out
when I'm down there
California Girls
The Beach Boys
I was headed north to Tennessee
And ol' Red was headed south
Blake Shelton " Ol' Red"
Finally death comes calling for the small town southern man.
Alan Jackson "Southern Man"
Sound over all waters
A chorus of peace
East, west, north, and south
(something, something) cease
-Christmas song
The words I've been using have come from the cards used for the first however-many words, when I was photographing cards and dice. I just went through and made a list of the words we hadn't used yet.
I have other "Encore" cards in my drawer here, for later. I'm just saying that because I'm about to play two more words from a song I've already played twice, and didn't want you to think I just mined that *song* for words.
In Dixieland I'll take my stand
To live and die in Dixie
Away, away, away down South in Dixie...
And it's the Sign of the Southern Cross
it's the Sign of the Southern Cross
Black Sabbath
Goin' down to South Park,
Gonna have myself a time
Friendly faces everywhere,
Humble folk without temptation...
Theme song to "South Park" :p
I'm envious of Heather. I wish I had thought of South Park. Good one.
From the great Atlantic ocean to the wide Pacific's roar
From the queen of flowing mountains to the southlands by the shore
She's mighty tall and handsome, she's known quite well by all
She's the regular combination called The Wabash Cannonball
Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders,
Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail.
All along the southbound odyssey
The City of New Orleans ~ Steve Goodman
South of the border, down mexico way.
Thats where I fell in love, where the stars above came out to play.
And now as I wander, my thoughts ever stray.
South of the border, down mexico way.
by Frank Sinatra

southern night..."

" Black velvet and that little boy's smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please..."
Allanah Myles
but I thought Alison Krouse did it too.
In Christ there is no east or west
In Him no south or north
But one great fellowship of love
Throughout the whole wide earth
Can anyone tell I went to a hymnsing this past weekend? :D
