THE HYPE AND SCAMS OF INTERNET MARKETING

Posted by baselinez in Untagged

Almost 99% of online busineses are all scams.I have tried numerous of these programs and wasted time and money, and I found out one thing they have in common ;they leave you high and dry on your own to find your own customers for that same product you've just been scammed to purchase! No matter how convincing,appealing and impressive a business oppurtunity may appear, the original owner of that program will never tell you the truth of how to really build a succesful business website to get clients or customers; I got fed up and idecided to start up my own business in stock music production,and my own christian website dealing with online christian dating and christian sex addiction, you'll soon find out why i did this and why you'll also have to take the same path if you truely want a successful online business in your own niche info website, CLICK THE WEB LINK BELOW to get the full info of how to be apart of this SUCCESSFUL and AMAZING HONEST TO GOD GENUINE PROGRAM!!!

Wallace Saunders:

Wallace Saunders, An African American Engine Wiper, Always Admired Train Conductor, Casey Jones.

So, On April 30, 1900, When Saunders Heard That His Friend, Jones Had Crashed The Cannonball Express Of The Illinois Central Line Into A Stationary Train, After Rounding A Curve Near Vaughan, Mississippi, He Wrote A Song In His Honor.

The Epic Tune Was Sung In Vaudeville Houses Across The Country And Became One Of America's Classic Folk Songs.

There Have Been Several Versions Of "The Ballad Of Casey Jones" Over The Years. In Exchange For The Song's Copywright, Saunders Received A Bottle Of Gin.
____________________________

THE BALLAD OF CASEY JONES

Come all you rounders listen here,
I'll tell you the story of a brave engineer.
Casey Jones was the hogger's name.
On a six-eight wheeler, boys, he won his fame.
Caller called Casey at half-past four,
he kissed his wife at the staion door.
Mounted to the cabin with his orders in his hand
and took his farewell trip to the promised land.

Put in your water and shovel in your coal,
Put your head out the window
Watch the drivers roll.
I'll run her till she leaves the rail
'Cause we're eight hours late with the Western Mail.
He looked at his watch and his watch was slow,
Looked at the water and the water was low.
Turned to his fireboy, then he said,
'We're bound to reach 'Frisco
But we'll all be dead.'
