This song makes me want to pick up a guitar and play. I first learned it through Bobby Bare’s recording. That led me to Tyson. A song, deep in my well. And my well’s a little dark these days.

Another favorite of mine is Tyson's slightly darker song Summer Wages:
"I'm going to work on them towboats
With my slippery city shoes
Lord I swore I would never do that again."

"Summer Wages" is a great & dark song - I'll be lost and gone like summer wages. Thanks for the listen.
Thanks for posting this. I'm a sucker for a fella with a harmonica...
Thank you, Patrice, for the visit & listen. Young is such a wonderful artist.
