THE PREACHER AND THE BEAR (song by Phil Harris -- 1947)

 

[progressive hunter]

 

[Harry Dresden]

I actually prefer this version:

Sorry Montrovant I am just to old school... I paid around five dollars ($5.00) cash money for a brand new never been played "Sticky Fingers" album and wore it out... Some covers are great, but this is the Rolling Stones...

I think the Stones are over-rated.

they werent in the 60s or the mick taylor years....

Poor Kitty POPCORN or THE SOLDIER's PET (By Henry Clay Work 1864)
Cover of Poor Kitty Popcorn
Poor Kitty Popcorn, one of the many songs written by American composer Henry Clay Work (1832-1884), spins a grand tale of the loyal bond formed between a Union soldier and his pet cat, Popcorn, during the Civil War.

Did you ever hear the story of the loyal cat? Meyow!
Who was faithful to the flag, and ever follow’d that? Meyow!
Oh she had a happy home beneath a southern sky,
But she pack’d her goods and left it when our troops came nigh,
And she fell into the column with a low glad cry, Meyow!

Round her neck she wore a ribbon—she was black as jet—Meyow!
And at once a gallant claim’d her for a soldier’s pet—Meyow!
All the perils of the battle and the march she bore,
Climbing on her master’s shoulder when her feet were sore,
Whisp’ring in his ear with wonder at the cannon’s roar, Meyow!

In the song, the stalwart soldier who marched forth with this remarkable cat survived the rigors of the war, returning to his home on the northern prairies. But the story then takes a more pathetic turn.

Now the “cruel war is over” and the troops disband —Meyow!
Kitty follows as a pilgrim to the Northern land—Meyow!
Ah! But sorrow overtakes her, and her master dies,
While she sadly sits a gazing in his dim blue eyes,
Till by strangers driven rudely from the door, she cries, Meyow!

So she wanders on the prairie till she sees his form—Meyow!
Carried forth and buried roughly ‘mid the driving storm—Meyow!
Oh! Her slender frame, it shivers in the northern blast,
As she seeks the sand mound on which the snow falls fast,
And alone amid the darkness there she breathes her last Meyow!

The dismal chorus of the song tugs at the heart strings:
Poor Kitty Popcorn!
Buried in a snow drift now.
Never more shall ring the music of your charming song, Meyow!
Never more shall ring the music of your charming song, Meyow!

I think the Stones are over-rated.

Just another over-rated band that has been making music for close to 60 years...

Making music for a long time doesn't make one good. Even being good and making music for a long time doesn't mean one cannot be overrated.
Of course, I've seen rankings that put AC/DC ahead of The Stones, and even ahead of The Beatles, so it's all silly subjective BS.
