Mr. Peabody's coal train
Has hauled it away.
"Paradise," by John Prine
(8 words and a contraction)
Well, I was born a coal miner's daughter
Coal Miner's Daughter
Loretta Lynn
(8 words)
It's like thunder, lightening
The way you love me is frightening
I better knock on wood, baby
Melanie Safka
Get the kids and bring a sweater
Dry is good and wind is better
Count the years, you always knew it
Strike a match, go on and do it
Shawn Colvin
Sunny Came Home
(I quoted this song once before, in the "kitchen" category. In concert, Shawn invites the women in the audience to sing along on this bridge.)
Don't use no punk or rotten wood
They'll catch you by the smoke
"Copper Kettle"
So I lit a fire
Isn't it good?
Norwegian wood.
(Lennon/McCartney)
But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground.
Smoke on the Water
Fire in the Sky
Smoke on the Water
Fire in the Sky
We burned down the gambling house
It died with an awful sound.
Smoke on the Water
Deep Purple
(I delayed playing this song for 24 hours but it just wouldn't go away. . . the gambling house was not exactly intended for building a fire but. . . it just fits!)
Frosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul,
With a corncob pipe and a button nose,
And two eyes made out of coal.
Workin' in a coal mine,
going down,down, down,
Workin' in a coal mine,
Whoops about to slip down
When a poor man came along
Gathering winter fuel
"Good King Wenceslas"
I been away. Sorry I missed this one.
Logs to burn
Logs to save the coal a turn
Here's a word to make you wise
When you hear the woodsman cry
-- by Golden Bough
Wood. Fire wood.
Not stove in the world that's gonna do ya any good
Without wood. You should
Be out cutting more wood
-- Cindy Mangsen et.al.
Gasoline on the wood
Turpentine and oil in a can
Pour the oil all over the wood
Strike a match, stand back of the flame
Me and my buddy
We're gonna barbeque lamb
-- Barbaq X, by Farm Accident
Throw another chairleg on the fire, Mother
It's cold outside and snow is in the air
So, throw another chairleg on the fire, Mother
The table legs were grand, but now we'll have to stand
-- by Artisan, from Paper Angels, which, by the way, best Christmas Album
Put another log on the fire
Cook me up some bacon and some beans
Don't remember who sang it but robmderrick reminded me of it with his last contribution. . .
