He performed a mesmerizing tune, with the words (title?) repeating: "Going Back To Denver" Anyone know the song- words, chords? I couldn't find it on YouTube, I'd like to hear it again, so I can play it at an upcoming gig. (ah yes I KNOW I could purchase the CD, but perhaps I could get it on line first ) Thanks. |

Each of those is worth owning, but ESPECIALLY Live At the Old Quarter - one of the best live albums ever made. Here's the words: COLORADO GIRL by Townes Van Zandt Well, I'm goin' out to Denver to see if I can't find Well, I'm goin' out to Denver to see if I can't find That lovin' Colorado girl of mine. Well, the promise in her smile shames a mountain's tall. Well, the promise in her smile shames a mountain's tall. She can bring the sun to shinin', tell the rain to fall. It's been a long time, Mama, since I heard you call my name. Oh, been a long time since I heard you call my name. I got to see my Colorado girl again. Be there tomorrow; Mama don't you cry. Be there tomorrow; Now, Mama don't you cry. I got to kiss these lonesome Texas blues Goodbye. Well, I'm goin' out to Denver to see if I can't find Well, I'm goin' out to Denver; gonna see if I can't find That lovin' Colorado girl of mine. That lovin' Colorado girl of mine. Amazon.com can sell you an mp3 of the original for a mere $99. Don't use my link, though - go through the Mudcat! Dan |
