Songs from the 2003 screenplay
Front-Ranger:
Loving this! Thank you, friend.
BBM_victim:
Yup, just finished reading that screenplay yesterday morning...
Oh, i like this song "Kaw-Liga" very much :). So, that's where the line for Ennis' "I'm nothing, i'm nowhere" comes from! (Guess also from short story's "pair of deuces going nowhere".) And also Jack's line to Ennis about tying knots all day! How nice :)
All these songs would have been matching the actual time period, but the final songs of the movie do have a more "modern" feel to them, so they would match the time period of watching the movie. Hmm...

When Alma asks Ennis to smarten up and go out, instead of "Kojak", the TV is playing David Carradine in "Kung Fu".

#8 Patsy Cline's "Crazy"
This is playing on Jack's radio while he's happily driving up to see Ennis, post-divorce.
~~~
Crazy, I'm crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy, crazy for feeling so blue
I knew you'd love me as long as you wanted
And then someday you'd leave me for somebody new
Worry, why do I let myself worry?
Wondering what in the world did I do?
Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you
Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
And I'm crazy for loving you.

#9 Merle Haggard's "My Friends Are Gonna Be Strangers"
Jack cries to this as he leaves Ennis and heads to Mexico.
~~~
Oh, the love you promised would be mine forever
I would have bet my bottom dollar on
Well, it sure turned out to be a short forever
Just once I turned my back and you were gone
From now on all my friends are gonna be strangers
I'm all through ever trusting anyone
The only thing I can count on now is my fingers
I was a fool believing in you and now you are gone
It amazes me, not knowing any better
Than to think I had a love who would be true
Why, I should be taken out, tarred and feathered
To have let myself be taken in by you
From now on all my friends are gonna be strangers
I'm all through ever trusting anyone
The only thing I can count on now is my fingers
I was a fool believing in you and now you are gone
