Your Favourite folk and country songs and music Old and new!"!

Not sure if Roger Miller's music has been presented in this thread, but I've always enjoyed his biggest hits. (Try to ignore the goofy dancers in the background.)

 
I have sung this song in my head many a time when at work, especially when I was real tired and we had hours to go before relief.
One time when I was as a young man Roughnecking. I was a new man on the Crew and we were tripping pipe "Fishing" for junk in the Hole and I was the Chain Hand. It was in the Fall in East Texas and it was Cold at least for Texans.... I sang and hummed this song all night as we Chained Out of the Hole and then back in the Hole....
The Rig was Thunderbolt 51... funny how you remember some trivial things like the name of a Rig
We had to Chain Out of the Hole so the Junk Basket on the Bottom would not lose any Junk we had caught.
Retired now after 44 year and I still have all my fingers....
