Sorry fans. Running a little behind here and have a lot to do before the New Year.
This is a song that I put together in about 1969 while working part time at Badger Marine. We were producing parts for the aircraft industry. I was working during the day at the radio station and evenings for about 4 hours trying to make a few extra dollars so Mama could stay home with the babies. I can't believe that was 46 years ago. Wow!
It is a religious type song. Having nothing to do with any kind of message about how to live or believe, but as the imagination takes us and then the verses come together until it becomes a song. It is a vengeful or vindictive thought that comes up with a song called "Down Below".
Three more songs for --
One a week for 2015
I have tried my best to post number 50 on the blog but can't nail it down. I am not satisfied with what I have been able to record so far. So I am going to give you number 51 instead.This is a song that I put together in about 1969 while working part time at Badger Marine. We were producing parts for the aircraft industry.

I
met you in a tavern, shoulda seen it then,
You
weren't the kind who would stay to long from sin.
For
a while you were mine, we shared a love devine.
But
the life you were used to was always on your mind.
(refrain)
Down
below - - -Down below
I
know I'll laugh when you go.
Down
below - - - Down below
When
you meet your maker, you're gonna meet him down below.
You
must not have listened, to the little parsons words,
To
love honor and obey, you must not have heard.
You've
broken your vows like you've broken my heart.
Now
I'll wait impatiently for you to depart.
(refrain)
Down
below - - -Down below
I
know I'll laugh when you go.
Down
below - - - Down below
When
you meet your maker, you're gonna meet him down below.
I
know you won't be lonely, whenever you go,
Your
friends will all be there, reapin what they've sowed.
The
Devil, your master, and ruler of your soul,
Prepares
a warm welcome for you down below
(refrain)
Down
below - - -Down below
I
know I'll laugh when you go.
Down
below - - - Down below
My
hell on earth is over, when you - go down below
