My sweet, innocent, and purty bear (pronounced bar) girl is havin' sweet dreams of Dusty. She loves him so, but he's a cheatin' bear and jes cain't be true to one luv. (She was paper pieced with pink gingham paper and was given rosey cheeks, long flirty eyelashes, and a hair bow.)
Last week, I was hostess for the Teapot Tuesday challenge on SCS for Mothermark. You can scroll down to my 11/10 blog post to see the tale of woe I gave my fellow tea partiers. One of the Twisted Sistahs, Brat Cards (aka Terri), came up with a really cool song in response to a challenge I had given her. You can view her hunkaburnin' love man card and Dusty's song here. In return, Terri challenged Bertie to write a cheatin' song in response.
Bertie loves a challenge, but she's not a great song writer, so she went to one of her favorite Country Western singers, Patsy Cline, for inspiration. If you're familiar with Patsy Cline's music, you'll notice that Bertie took some liberties with incorporating lyrics from various songs of Patsy's into one song.
It goes sumpin' like this:
Sweet dreams of you
Every night I go through
Why can't I ferget you and start my life anew
Instead of havin' sweet dreams about you
I go out walkin' after midnight
Out in the moonlight just like we used to do
I'm always walkin' after midnight searchin' fer you
You don't love me, it's plain
I should know, I'll never wear yer ring
I should hate you the whole night through
Instead of havin' sweet dreams about you
I walk fer miles along the highway
Well that's just my way of sayin' I love you
I'm always walkin' after midnight searchin' fer you
Sweet dreams of you
Things I know cain't come true
Why can't I ferget the past, start loving someone new
Instead of havin' sweet dreams of you
I stopped to see a weepin' willow
Cryin' on his pillow, maybe he's cryin' fer me
And as the skies turn gloomy
Night winds whisper to me, I'm lonesome as I can be
Crazy, I'm crazy fer feeling so lonely
I'm crazy, crazy fer feeling so blue
I knew you'd love me as long as you wanted
And then someday you'd leave me for somebody new
Worry why do I let myself worry?
Wondrin' what in the world did I do?
Crazy fer thinkin' that my love could hold you
I'm crazy fer tryin' and crazy for cryin'
and I'm crazy fer lovin' you
