THE BALLAD OF MARY-ROSE by DK \u201cthe Star of elanka!\u201d<\/span><\/h1>\n

“Stories in song”, three little words that, I believe, should be the “basic platform” of anyone who calls himself\/herself, a song-writer. A song is, as I have often said, a condensed “story” combined with a piece of music as a background. Where a story takes a few thousand words to explain itself, many paragraphs and, depending on it’s length, many hours to read, a song is much more brief,\u00a0 but must still endeavour to tell it’s story to best effect. The only necessacity here, would be a good “vocalist” to fill the void.<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

Millions of songs have been written over the years. Of these “compositions”, many have been the works of dual personalities in both “lyricists”& “music”, composers who work together to produce a song.<\/span>
\n I have been extremely blessed in that I can still do both. I can, and have written both the lyrics & music to dozens of songs. Although the “theory” of music is unfortunately not a talent of mine, I cannot “read” music at all, but, if a “tune” enters into my brain at any time of day or night, my memory goes to work, stores the tune, while, at the same time, thinking about a “title” & “lyrics” to fit the tune. The strange part of it is the fact that “titles” to songs are my biggest problem. Once I get a title in mind, “stories in song” flow easily.<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

Because I truly believe that “Country” depicts real-life I have written many “Country-Songs”. Most are love-songs, some happy, some sad, many good, none bad, you see, all you good eLankan readers around the World, I even “write” in rhyme often, so here is my first “Cheating-Country-Song”<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

“THE BALLAD OF MARY-ROSE”<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

I’m gonna tell you a little story,<\/span>
\n and I just want you to listen close,<\/span>
\n it’s all about a nice young fella<\/span>
\n and his girl, named Mary-Rose<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

He loved her, yes, he loved her,<\/span>
\n she was to be his “blushing bride”<\/span>
\n and he could hardly wait, till she was by his side<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

He built his castles high-up in the air,<\/span>
\n but when they tumbled, it was more than he could bear<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

She told him that she loved him,<\/span>
\n yet, she knew this was untrue<\/span>
\n For all her lovin was divided,<\/span>
\n between him, and someone new<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

She tried to keep it all a secret,<\/span>
\n she did’nt know that “walls had ears”<\/span>
\n But when he found out, it was far too late for tears<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

He knew right then, that she was being unfair,<\/span>
\n his whole heart was torn out, he just did’nt care<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

He told her, he was sorry,<\/span>
\n that it had to end this way,<\/span>
\n he shot her, then he shot himself that day<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

Now, here’s the “moral” of my story,<\/span>
\n and it only goes to show,<\/span>
\n never trust a pretty woman,<\/span>
\n wherever you may go,<\/span>
\n and, before you make a wrong move,<\/span>
\n get advice from one who knows,<\/span>
\n Learn a lesson from the tale of Mary-Rose.<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

“Nothin to do with me folks & I’m not going to name the guy who did the shootin, but it was a Lankan”<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n
