OK, I need this place again; the old one was getting longish and I want to set a new focus.
As usual, if you want to duel, take it outside.
I have been listening to this one song on a Hank Cramer tape over and over until I know all the words. I'll get the tape out of my car later and post the composer (and title).
I am gone (I am gone) I'm rollin' down this lonely highway through Montana
I am sad I have to go, but if I stayed there any more
I'd have lost it all for sure
that's a price I can't afford
So I'm leavin'
(It's) my old town
those are the friend I love so well We'd gather 'round
In a tavern by the bay
We'd raise out voice in song, Roll that Cahhriot Along
Then stumble home like sailors 'break of day.
(chord shift)
Sing all night - with - the Shantyman and a Bottle of Rum
Stomp your feet to the rumble and the thunder of the bodhran drum
Sing all night - to - the magic of the Girl With a Fiddle in her Hand
But head on home - 'fore you give your heart away...
I am gone ...
great song. very catchy and a great beat.
It puts me in mind of two cross country moves necessitated by jobs, and leaving Chicago, which I still miss.
