Hi, there, folks. I'm looking for an old Cisco Houston (I think) song, called "Away Out There" or some such. It begins:

A lonely spot I know where no man will go Where the shadows have all the room...

Thanks in advance,

Dee

Mary McCaslin does a song that begins "there's a place I know that no man will go........" It also has something about trains in it. If you think this may be it I can try to find it. Hopefully someone has the info on the tip of the tongue. Let me know

If you will E-Mail me at Ronims@aol.com with a fax number, I will send you the lyrics, with cord markings. The words and arrangement were takin from an album that was recorded by Pete Seeger and Arlo Guthrie in concert. It is called "Way Out There "

WAY OUT THERE
Recorded by The Sons of the Pioneers
Written by Bob Nolan

A lonely spot I know where no man will go
Where the shadows have all the room,
I was ridin' free on the old SP
Softly humming a southern tune,
When a man came along, made me hush my song,
Kicked me off away out there.

As she pulled out of sight, I turned to my right,
The left and everywhere,
But all I could see was a cactus tree
And a prairie dog playing there.
Saw the prairie dog feed on the tumbling weed;
That's his home away out there.

So I threw down my load in the desert road
And rested my weary legs,
Watched the sinking sun make the tall shadows
Out across the barren plain,
Then I hummed a tune to the rising moon.
He gets lonesome 'way out there.

And then I closed my eyes to the starlit skies
And I lost myself in dreams,
Dreamt the desert sand was a milk-and-honey land,
Then I woke up with a start.
There's a train coming back on that one-way track,
Gonna take me 'way from here.

As she was passing by, caught her on the fly.
I climbed in an open door.
Then I turned around to that desert ground,
Saw the spot I will see no more;
And as I rode away, heard the pale moon say,
"Farewell, pal, it gets lonesome here."
