Fightin' Side of Me

I hear people talkin' bad,
About the way we have to live here in this country,
Harpin' on the wars we fight,
An' gripin' 'bout the way things oughta be.
An' I don't mind 'em switchin' sides,
An' standin' up for things they believe in.
When they're runnin' down my country, man, They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me. Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me, Runnin' down the way of life,
Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep..
If you don't love it, leave it:
Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin'
If you're runnin' down my country, man,
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me..


I read about some squirrely guy,
Who claims, he just don't believe in fightin'.
An' I wonder just how long,
The rest of us can count on bein' free.


They love our milk an' honey,
But they preach about some other way of livin'.When they're runnin' down my country, hoss,
They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.


Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me.
Runnin' down the way of life,
Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep.
If you don't love it, leave it:
Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin'.If you're runnin' down my country, man,
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Two of my favorite Irish actors (no not John Wayne) Maureen O'Hara and Victor McLaglen.







Together in Rio Grande, Mr. McLaglen playing my favorite character of his,
Sgt. Maj. Quincannon


Ladies first, Maureen is about as Irish as they come. She was born Maureen FitzSimons
August 17, 1920 in Ranelagh, County Dublin, Ireland. She'll be 91 this year :)

Well, I just read something about Mclaglen, He's NOT Irish! But he played Irishmen in most of his movies:).He was born Victor Andrew de Bier Everleigh McLaglen December 10, 1886 in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, England, UK.
How 'bout that for a name??

How to pronounced Mclaglen: Muh-clog-len, not Mack-loff-len(which I've been doing most my life:).



And a song, just finish off the day.



Just a couple more of Maureen in color to show off her hair.
