We are approaching the 5:00 PM end of the Workday/Pandemic day and for my end of day Music Interlude I have two songs I wish to share with you... The first is a song by Juice Newton titled "Queen of Hearts, which is a light C&W song with a great beat... I hope you all enjoy it. I will be back with the 2nd song right after this one... ENJOY!
LYRICS:
"Queen Of Hearts"
(originally by Dave Edmunds)
Midnight, and I'm a-waiting on the twelve-oh-five
Hoping it'll take me just a little farther down the line
Moonlight, you're just a heartache in disguise
Won't you keep my heart from breaking
If it's only for a very short time
Playing with the queen of hearts
Knowing it ain't really smart
The joker ain't the only fool
Who'll do anything for you
Laying out another lie
Thinking 'bout a life of crime
'Cause that's what I'll have to do
To keep me away from you
Honey, you know it makes you mad
Why is everybody telling everybody what you have done
Baby, I know it makes you sad
But when they're handing out the heartaches
You know you got to have you some
Playing with the queen of hearts
Knowing it ain't really smart
The joker ain't the only fool
Who'll do anything for you
Laying out another lie,
Thinking 'bout a life of crime
'Cause that's what I'll have to do
To keep me away from you
Lovers, I know you've had a few
But hide your heart beneath the covers
And tell 'em they're the only one
And others, they know just what I'm going through
And it's a-hard to be a lover
When you say you're only in it for fun
Playing with the queen of hearts
Knowing it ain't really smart
The joker ain't the only fool
Who'll do anything for you
Playing with the queen of hearts
Knowing it ain't really smart
The joker ain't the only fool
Who'll do anything for you
Laying out another lie,
Thinking 'bout a life of crime
'Cause that's what I'll have to do
To keep me away from you
Playing with the queen of hearts
Playing with the queen of hearts
Playing with the queen of hearts
Playing with the queen of hearts

Thank you my friend Sgt (Join to see) for posting the official music video of the very talented Juice Newton performing a cover of Dave Edmunds 1979 song "Queen Of Hearts."
She does an enticing cover of the song from 41 years ago.
IMHO it is a toss-up. I like Juice's version from the female perspective. Dave Edmunds version as the original gets my runner up vote. It would have been interesting in a time warp to them both produced in similar time frames so technology would be comparable. :-)

Sgt (Join to see) I'm not a big fan of new country, so it's understandable.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - I agree "ANGEL OF THE MORNING" is a super song. I like Merrilee Rush's 1968 version.
