Hi David,
It was Kenny Rogers or Johnny Cash that came to mind for me. It's really interesting isn't it that when people are really tired, their creative side kicks in. I do like your song.
I think this is great:
She said "Son you've got to promise
And keep that promise well.
And when you've kept your promise
You must promise not to tell."
especially the last line, it did make me smile.
Well done
pbee
Promise not to laugh at the vocals and at how rushed everything is, and you can give a listen to this at my soundclick.com page:

Hilch, it's a good example of editing words on the fly! Somethings got changed deliberately and some while I was singing them... :wink:
This is truly a rough draft. Hopefully I'll get the time to add in some banjo and/or dobro to the mix.
By the bye, I've also posted up a song from the first year of SSG called Saturn's Moons. The assignment was to use all the "four basic elements" (earth, air, fire and water) in a song lyric. There's obviously been some editing since then, but I'm still very happy with this one.
Like A Promise To Momma, this recording is still a work in progress.
Peace
