Bill Grogan's goat
Was feeling fine
Ate three red shirts
Right off the line

Bill took a stick
Gave him a whack,
And tied him to
The railroad track.

The whistle blew
The train was nigh
Bill Grogan's goat
Was doomed to die!

He gave a cough
Of mortal pain,
Coughed up those shirts
And flagged the train!

Just across the Blue Ridge
Where the high meadows lay
and the galax spreads through the new mown hay

There's a rusty iron bridge
'cross a shady ravine
Where the hard road ends and turns to clay

With a suitcase in his hand
Well a lonesome boy stands
Gazing at the river sliding by beneath his feet.

And the dark water springs
From the black rock and and flows
Out of sight where the twisted laurel grows

Past the coal-tipple towns
In the cold December rain
Into Charleston runs the New River train

Where the hillsides are brown
And the broad valley stained
By a hundred thousand lives of work and pain

In a tar paper shack
Down the road, across the track
Stands an old used up man trying to recall something back

But his old mem'ries fade
Like the city in the haze
And his days have flown together like the rain.

And the dark water springs
‘Cross the black rock and flows
Out of sight where the twisted laurel grows.

I got the all night Laundry Mat blues
Washing everything I own except my shoes
I got makeup round the collar
And it smells like sweat
A dollar in the drier
And it ain't dry yet

If you wear clothes, you got to pay the dues
Sing the all night Laundry Mat blues
Yes you do
Sing the all night Laundry Mat blues

“
I'm a roaming cowboy riding all day long,
Tumbleweeds around me sing their lonely song.
Nights underneath the prairie moon,
I ride along and sing this tune.

See them tumbling down
Pledging their love to the ground
Lonely but free I'll be found
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds.

Cares of the past are behind
Nowhere to go but I'll find
Just where the trail will wind
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds.

I know when night has gone
That a new world's born at dawn.

I'll keep rolling along
Deep in my heart is a song
Here on the range I belong
Drifting along with the tumbling tumbleweeds.

Wild geese flying by, calling on the downwind as they go
No answers they send, and springtime has too many miles to flow
The lone black pine; hillsides, all covered in snow
Why does the wind say you ain’t coming back anymore?

Was there a time, when my dreams weren’t always of you?
The days ain’t so bad, but each night takes so long passing through
Down by the stream, fresh otter tracks in the snow
Why does the wind say you ain’t coming back anymore?

[inst break]

I’ve got a mind, just to ramble this whole country ‘round
With the hills turning green, and the frost boiling out from the ground
Drive through the miles, of a country I’ve never seen before
Why does the wind say you ain’t coming’ back anymore?

John Denver, eh? A bit wholesome for my taste [WINK], but there was one or two songs he did that my brother & I stole....


Well, I wake up late in the afternoon
I eat my eggs with the evening news
And the sun's gone down before I find my shoes
Music fills the air, but it's all the blues....

She won't let me fly away
She won't let me fly away

Well, we got no heat and the window's broke
The storm rains came, everything got soaked
And there's no bread left, nothing here to smoke
and the Lord looks down saying, "Can't you take a joke?"

She won't let me fly away
She won't let me fly away

(bridge)
The palm tree's just a picture on a postcard
The ocean's just a memory in my dream
And a man comes a TV selling soapsuds
To dirty up my rivers and my streams

Like a mystery movie without an end
When you think it's over, it just begins
It's not always true that the good guy wins
I been down so long that I got the bends

She won't let me fly away
She won't let me fly away
She won't let me fly away
She won't let me fly away

(repeat & fade)


"She Won't Let Me Fly Away"
Bill Danoff
Aerie (1972)
John Denver



And a quote from Bill Danoff:

"John also wrote some wonderful songs. While he was struggling with his new solo career, the Peter, Paul and Mary recording of his "Leaving on A Jet Plane" became their greatest all-time hit.

But he also loved to do other songwriters' material, especially those different from what he wrote himself. And he constantly surprised me. Never would I have thought he would record "She Won't Let Me Fly Away" or "Readjustment Blues," but he did and they worked well by bringing variety to his sets."

“Tilt, I was indoctrinated as a child. I can't help it.”

“That'll do it every time --- !


Here's something just as prehistoric and subversive   (if not moreso)...

Don't put it down…
Best one around… !
