Duke Family Singers


Elly May Duke

Recommended Posts

Watchin an episode the other day where they were all singing. Always thought that would be cool if they did, but didn't know that they did. So y'all can talk about songs that you think would fit them for singing or insturments or even Duos and such that would go together . . .my personal is them and Alan Jackson on about everyone of his songs. And my man Josh Turner.

Wow, I sure like this idea Elly May.

I need more time to think about it but the first song that popped into my head is the song "Boondocks" that was popular a year or two ago. It would be awesome to hear the "Duke Family Singers" doing that one.

By the way, is the episode you mentioned "Opening Night at the Boar's Nest"?

Yeah. . .I don't know about Daisy since there's not really anyback up on that one, but since they said they were in the church chior here's a few i could sse.

Are You Washed in the Blood? and I'll Fly Away

John in the Jordan

Somethin going on in the Graveyard

If that don't Make you wanna go

a few others probably, but my dad's group which only had three people when they did the album with these songs. I'm in his group too, but I only sing Me and God bu Josh Turner. tho the other night at the nursing home i sang Long Black Train with him. Now they have four peopl, but one of the girls is having problems so I might try and start being like a fill in for her.

Me too. that was another off top my head I could think of. I could see her singing that one to Enos. you know like I don't know . . .just thinking bout how nervous he'd be asking her to marry him so . . .do it anyway. lol I make a lot of song jokes if you noticed.

Really could see her Doing Blessed too. Kinda fitts in with Alright . .the Dairus Rucker one and of course Gunpowder and Lead and kerosene. Even kind of More Like Her. . .now who Daisy would have to compare herself to is beyond me, but anyhow. probably not the best examples, but well I can see Daisy in the Videoes fo thos two GPAL and Kerosene

Okay so I don't know if i could see Enos being brave enough to sing Would You Go with Me or Your man, but I could see him singing Gravity. Fits him. I'll put the lyrics so you see what I mean.

I've got my share of scars on those ol' monkey bars

Every time I'd hit the ground

On that old long dirt my bike lost control

And once again I was fallin' down

Every time I'd try to fly, there's a force I can't deny

Gravity

Grew to be six foot one, depended on no one

Yeah, I was my ol' man

Invincible and strong until you came along

And touched me with your gentle hand

When I look into your eyes, there's a force I can't deny

Gravity

Well, I never really like it much

Always left me all scraped up

Never really saw it as a good thing

Changes tides out on the sea

Pulled your body close to me

First time I ain't been afraid to fall

Don't guess it's so bad after all

Gravity

Well, I never really like it much

Always left me all scraped up

Never really saw it as a good thing

Changes tides out on the sea

Pulled your body close to me

First time I ain't been afraid to fall

Don't guess it's so bad after all

Gravity

Gravity

Mmmmmm, gravity

Maybe, maybe not, but a hunch at least

My chances weren't good she was way out of my reach

How could she ever fall for some ol' boy like me

But here she lies asleep tonight in these arms of mine

And that goes to show angels fall sometimes

She's been here long enough to see that I'm no saint by now

Every mornin' I wake surprised to find her still around

The love that she give to me could be no truer sign

Every now and then angels fall sometimes

She brings pieces of heaven every day into my life

She's been my inspiration with her by my side

I'm not afraid to dream high

The love that she gives to me could be no truer sign

Every now and then angels fall sometimes

Yeah, I thank the Lord angels fall sometimes

personally i think it fits Enos perfectly

Agreed and IDK about this one, but it counters that i think Blake Shelton the more I drink. Lots of good Boar's Nest songs I could go forever with thoses.

i could see them in all my friends say because when Luke Bryan says "i cant find my truck, howd i get home from the club" and then after a while says "i found my bill fold i cried oh no, no, that time Charlie got me now im broke" LOL
