Whiskey Lullaby.
She put him out, Like the burning end of a midnight cigarette. She broke his heart. He spent his whole life trying to forget. We watched him drink his pain away, a little at a time, But he never could get drunk enough to get her off his mind, Until the night, He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger, And finally drank away her memory. Life is short but this time it was bigger, Than the strength he had to get up off his knees. We found him with his face down in the pillow, With a note that said “I’ll love her ’till I die”, And when we buried him beneath the willow, The angels sang a whiskey lullaby.
La la la la la la la…………
The rumours flew, But nobody knew how much she blamed herself, For years and years, She tried to hide the whiskey on her breath. She finally drank her pain away, a little at a time, But she never could get drunk enough to get him off her mind, Until the night, She put that bottle to her head and pulled the trigger, And finally drank away his memory. Life is short, but this time it was bigger, Then the strength she had to get up off her knees. They found her with her face down in the pillow, Clinging to his picture for dear life. They laid her next to him beneath the willow, While the angels sang a whiskey lullaby.

Before I’m Over You.
I just can’t get it through my head, You love another now instead, Can’t make myself believe we’re really through. I’m walkin’ up and down the hall, Talkin’ to the silent wall, I’ll lose my mind before I’m over you. I think I’ve almost lost my mind, I think about you all the time, I’m goin’ crazy yes I know, And I don’t have far to go. The way you treat me is a shame, But I’ll keep lovin’ you the same, I’ll lose my mind before I’m over you.
I keep your letters I should burn, I wear your ring I should return, But there’s a million foolish things I do. It makes me cry but you would laugh, To know I kiss your photograph, I’ll lose my mind before I’m over you. I think I’ve almost lost my mind, I think about you all the time, I’m goin’ crazy yes I know, And I don’t have far to go. The way you treat me is a shame, But I’ll keep lovin’ you the same, I’ll lose my mind before I’m over you.
Aged just 65 years, the singer, actress and TV personality Linda Nolan, has sadly passed away after a 20-year battle with breast cancer, at Blackpool Victoria Hospital, surrounded by her 3 surviving sisters; Anne, Coleen and Maureen. [Linda’s sister Bernie, sadly died from breast cancer in 2013 last] Her sad demise was brought about this mid-morning (Wednesday January15th), having succumbed to her a battle with double pneumonia.
Linda was first diagnosed with stage-three breast cancer in 2005 before getting the all-clear in 2006. However, in 2017 she was diagnosed with a form of incurable secondary cancer in her hip, which spread to her liver in 2020. In 2022 she shared the news that cancer had spread to her brain, with two tumours identified on the left side of her brain, leaving her struggling with both her speech and balance.
Linda rose to fame, alongside her 4 sisters as a member of the girl band “The Nolan Sisters”, latter the first Irish act (born in Dublin) to sell over a million records worldwide. Having toured the world and selling over 30 million records, Linda later pursued a career in stage musicals. Beyond her incredible early career, Linda dedicated her later life to helping others; raising some £20 million for numerous deserving causes, including Breast Cancer Now, Irish Cancer Society and Samaritans, together with countless others charities.
“Her memory will live on forever in the many lives she touched and in the music she performed.”

Blowin’ In The Wind
“Son of Man, thou dwellest in the midst of a rebellious house, which have eyes to see and see not; they have ears to hear and hear not”. [Ezekiel* Chapter 12: Verses 1–2; one of the major prophetical books of the Old Testament].
Ezekiel* The prophet Ezekiel, before his death around 570 BCE, prophesied the eventual restoration of the Jewish people back again to the land of Israel.
How many roads must a man walk down, Before you call him a man? How many seas must a white dove sail, Before she sleeps in the sand? Yes, and how many times must a cannonballs fly, Before they’re forever banned? The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind, The answer is blowin’ in the wind. Yes, and how many years can a mountain exist, Before it is washed to the sea? Yea, and how many years can some people exist, Before they’re allowed to be free? Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head, And pretend that he just doesn’t see? The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind, The answer is blowin’ in the wind. Yes, and how many times must a man look up, Before he can see the sky? And how many ears must one man have, Before he can hear people cry? Yes, and how many deaths will it take ’til he knows, That too many people have died? The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind, The answer is blowin’ in the wind. END

The Cowboy Rides Away.
I knew the stakes were high right from the start, When she dealt the cards, I dealt my heart. Now I just found a game that I can’t play, And this is where the cowboy rides away. And my heart is sinking like the setting sun, Setting on the things I wish I’d done. It’s time to say goodbye to yesterday, This is where the cowboy rides away. We’ve been in and out of love and in-between, And now we play the final showdown scene, As the credits roll, a sad song starts to play, And this is where the cowboy rides away. And my heart is sinking like the setting sun, Setting on the things I wish I’d done. Oh, the last goodbye’s the hardest one to say, This is where the cowboy rides away. Oh, the last goodbye’s the hardest one to say, This is where the cowboy rides away.
