1. What country classic begins with the following lines?
"There's a young man that I know whose age is twenty-one
Comes from down in southern Colorado
Just out of the service, he's lookin' for his fun..."
2. A beautiful young woman sang of wanderings and meanderings. If I mention her name, I'm afraid you'll know the answer, so I'll just present the middle of her song. When was her favored time for a stroll?
"I stopped to see a weeping willow
Cryin' on his pillow
Maybe he's crying for me
And as the skies turn gloomy
Night winds whisper to me
I'm lonesome as I can be
I go out walkin'..."
3. Rock and Roller J.P. Richardson, also known as "The Big Bopper", wrote this song, but Johnny Preston made it a big hit, (although it was later covered by Sonny James and a host of other artists, including Led Zeppelin.)
What was the title of this tribute to a fictitious Native-American love affair?
4. "The Wild Side Of Life", a song by Hank Thompson, was a lament by a jilted lover whose bride-to-be had decided to run off with a man in a roadhouse. The groom states in the song that he "didn't know that God made honky-tonk angels."
A female artist later answered this perceived insult to women by singing a song entitled "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky-Tonk Angels". Who was this singer that managed to stay at the number one position on the charts for six weeks, in 1952?
5. What is the name of this tune from 1992? I have used the third stanza to avoid giving away the title, even in a small way.
"Progress came and took its toll,
And in the name of flood control,
They made their plans and they drained the land,
Now the glades are going dry.
And the last time I walked in the swamp,
I sat upon a Cypress stump,
I listened close and I heard the ghost,
Of Osceola cry."
6. What TITLE WORDS are missing from the middle of this hit song by Don Gibson?
"The lights in the harbor,
Don't shine for me.
I'm like a lost ship,
Adrift on the sea.
__________________, lost love an' loneliness;
Memories of your caress, so divine.
I wish you were mine again, my dear.
I am on this sea of tears:
7. Bobby Edwards had a number four hit with the following lyrics. Can you determine the name of the song with these words extracted from the middle of the tune?
"I'm bettin' you're not losin' sleep over me

Come over and keep me company (whoa, whoa, whoa)
Sometimes I go for a walk
Take a look at the moon
Strum my guitar
Sing a love tune"
8. The younger brother of "The Man In Black", Johnny Cash, had a hit with this tune. Tommy Cash was a singer and song-writer in his own right, and late in 1969, he sang about the deaths of JFK, RFK and MLK, observing that, "they took you away before you sang your song." Now, let's see... what WAS the name of that song?
