One point for a complete answer, half points for an incomplete
one.
1) Don't you know that we're married, see I'm wearin' his
ring?
"From Galway to Graceland" by Richard Thompson
Full marks to Tiny Bulcher.
2) But all I've ever learned from love was how to shoot
somebody who outdrew ya.
"Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen
Half points to Helen T.
Full point to Gift and Carol Hague[1]
3) We buried ours and the Turks buried theirs, then we started
all over again.
"The Band Played Waltzing Matilda" by Eric Bogle
Half points to Buzzholio and Tiny
4) He shut out the future, he shut out the past, and even the
present was running out fast.
"No Telling (What A Love Song Will Do)" by Linda Thompson
Half points to Tiny, who got it, but needed a hint...
5) All the lasses were crying and tearing their hair.
"The Rout of the Blues" by that famous folk composer Trad.
No-one got this one at all.
6) His dog up and died
"Mr Bojangles" by Jerry Jeff Walker
Half points to Buzzholio
Final scores:
Tiny Bulcher 2/6
Buzzholio 1/6
Gift 1/6
Carol Hague 1/6
Helen T. 0.5/6
[1]*I* thought that particular line had been added by Jeff
Buckley, so it doesn't seem fair to dock points from someone
else for it...
