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.

anybody else got a great song circle type song?
