Leading on from first records you bought, songs that make you cry, songs that make you dance etc. How about a game of guess the title of a song and the singer, from a single line of lyrics? try not to Google, but guess it, more fun.Whoever is correct first, does the next one.

So, mine is
There she was, just a walkin' down the street.........

"I fell in love with a Mexican girl.

Night time would find me in Rosa's cantina, music would play and ..."

That's as far as I can get.

Didn't know that John Denver song, so listened to it on YouTube - lovely!

Don't think I know this one either - those lyrics are pretty memorable.

I think the title is El Paso. Marty Robbins.

Out in the west Texas town of El Paso
I fell in live with a Mexican girl,
Nighttime would find me in Rosa's Cantina,
Music would play and Felina would whirl.

That's as much as I know too, a bit more than you Grannyknot.

How about, 'Now I shout it from the highest hills/Even told the golden daffodils' ?

It probably was before your time - my parents had the record and I loved it as a child. I was reminded by the mention of Mexico.

I have just checked - it was "a 1942 novelty song first recorded by the Glenn Miller Orchestra and later by Bing Crosby with the Vic Schoen Orchestra, Tommy Tucker and his Orchestra and the Royal Air Force Dance Orchestra." so you've probably never heard of it.
