There is just something about the sound of Johnny Cash drawling out the words to 'Sunday Morning Coming Down' that sets my toe to tapping and my voice to singing. I know it's not a hymn, and it's more of a hangover song, but on Sunday mornings, I can't help but think of the song, and wish I had the Sunday smell of someone fryin' chicken.
Currently, I have the smell of an over full kitchen garbage.
It is exactly the wrong smell for this spring Sunday morning coming down.
I guess the rest of my day is going to be spent doing a bit of Sunday morning cleaning.....and that is soul satisfying for me.
I don't know the Johnny Cash version, but my Gordon plays it occasionally on his guitar. I think it was written by Kris Kristofferson, yes?
ReplyDeleteI don't know when I first heard Kris Kristofferson sing, because I feel like I've been a fan all my life. Then when I learned he wrote some of my all time favorite songs, I liked him even more (if that was even possible?)!
DeleteHmmmm, now I want fried chicken...trip to the store is in my plans today I see!
ReplyDeleteIf I didn't have steak thawed for the grill, I'd be having fried chicken tonight! Tomorrow for sure!
DeleteI like Johnny Cash, saw his clothing in the Nashville Hall of Fame way back last year. Wonderful place.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit and comment, Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees is in a coma very ill. He has Liver Cancer and Phuemonia, I am pleased I had that song for my M word.
Yvonne.
In all my cross country travels, I have missed Nashville. Hope to change that someday.
DeleteI love Johnny Cash! Now I need to go and find my CDs. :)
ReplyDeleteOh yes! He is fantastic!
DeleteJohnny Cash and fried chicken sounds like a perfect combination to me--and I'm a big Kris Kristofferson fan, he is truly multi-talented and highly underrated (but that may be the secret to his success--he's never been distracted by the outsized fame of some others).
ReplyDeleteOn a less pleasant note, I truly hate getting up to an overfull garbage can--serious cranky making there.
Kris Kristofferson is a true renaissance man!
Deletei know, i always think i am going to fry chicken to have waiting for us, when we get back from church on Sundays--maybe i will start picking up kfc--happy cleaning
ReplyDeleteMy childhood was cemented in the big after church dinner, but as a Mom, I tend to toss the kids a pb&j sandwich and cook the big meal in the evening!
DeleteIck. Trash taking out time. *shudder*
ReplyDeleteYes, truly horrible. And I'm not even sure how it ended up my job!
