Jukebox Patsy

by Mary Sue Ulven and Greg Rank

I met him in an Amish furniture store in Ohio We fell in love that night He told me about a dream, we'd live out west I smiled at him, and said, "alright"
I remember the time when Patsy Cline played I met my best friend that day I remember the time, Patsy Cline played Like crazy kids, we moved away
He built a castle in the sand, with spires in the air A suit of armor stood 'n' played its part A dining table for twelve, as large as his smile A jukebox, big as his heart
I remember the time when Patsy Cline played We shared the next two thousand days I remember the time, Patsy Cline played Those sweet dreams feel like yesterday
The jukebox played, as friends gathered to say goodbye. A Patsy Cline song filled the air The next morning I pushed, ev'ry button on that jukebox. But that Patsy Cline song wasn't there
I remember all the times when Patsy Cline played Lonely echoes haunt my castle today I remember the time Patsy Cline played I lost my best friend that day And I'll remember, always, when Patsy Cline played

🛣️ The Story Behind the Song

This song was born on a road trip along Highway 50 from California to a Folk Music Camp in Moab, Utah. Mary Sue Ulven and Greg Rank stopped at an Airbnb they'd never visited before, owned by a woman named Donna.

Donna lived in a remarkable castle that her late husband had lovingly built for her. The house featured a huge music room where Mary Sue and Greg brought out their guitars. As Mary Sue sang Patsy Cline songs to their gracious host, Donna began sharing the beautiful and heartbreaking story of her love affair with her late husband.

Among Donna's memories was the tale of a mysterious disappearing Patsy Cline song on their jukebox—a detail that would become central to this touching tribute. The song captures not only Donna's story but the magic of unexpected connections made on the open road, where strangers become friends and their stories become songs.

"Sometimes the most beautiful songs come from the stories we discover in the most unexpected places."
