    Excellent job. I'd like to believe that Connie found herself a happy life where she belonged. If she were somehow still alive, she would have just turned 99.

    Just checked out some Connie Converse & loved every bit of it. Odie def does her justice. Both have such a welcoming voice that’s easy on the ears.

    Just like that, a singer songwriters memory is resurrected 60 yrs later to have their songs heard by more than ever did during her lifetime. I think is awesome you all put that link about Connie in the description 👍👍 this modern folky version does it for me but I'm looking forward to hearing Connie's 2007 and 2020 releases of her music along with yours Odie. You are new to me as of this years GITR contest. ✌️

    God I must be half the views for this video. It's phenomenal cover. I'm not surprised to see that someone as talented as odie is a fan of Connie C.

    Beautiful song. Didn't know Connie Converse, gotta change that ASAP.
    Chords and lyrics below folks, have fun!
    Standard tuning, no Capo
    Bb7 113131
    Intro C Am Dm G / C G C
    Chorus C Am Dm G / C Am F G / Em Am D / Dm G C
    Verses G D G D / G Am Bm Am / G Am G C / Bm Bb7 D G
    [Intro]
    [Chorus]
    People say a roving woman
    Is likely not to be better than she ought to be
    So when I stray away from where I got to be
    Someone always takes me home
    [Verse 1]
    A lady never should habituate saloons
    And that is where I find myself on many afternoons
    And just as I begin to blow away the foam
    Someone tips his hat to me and takes me home
    [Chorus]
    People say a roving woman
    Is likely not to be better than she ought to be
    So when I stray away from where I've got to be
    Someone always takes me home
    [Verse 2]
    Now poker is a game a lady shouldn't play
    But every floating poker game just seems to float my way
    And long before I've lost a thing besides my comb
    Someone tips his hand to me and takes me home
    [Chorus]
    Don't see why they always do it
    Can't be vanity; must be sheer humanity
    When some kind soul remarks with great urbanity
    'Lady let me take you home'
    [Verse 3]
    And sure there's bound to be some sort of aftermath
    That makes a pleasant ending of the straight and narrow path
    And as I go to sleep I cannot help but think
    How glad I am that I was saved from cards and drink
    [Chorus]
    People say a roving woman
    Is likely not to be better than she ought to be
    So when I stray away from where I've got to be
    Someone always takes me home

      Thanks for this I was just going to try figuring out the chords. So a key change between verse and chorus…can figure how the Bb7 factors in theory-wise?

    • @cedarriver
      @cedarriver Рік тому +2

      @@dirtyzee3401 Good one! It's called a Flat III Major chord and is used sometimes to have more variety in the key. It works because the the chord is "borrowed" from the minor parallel. So in this case, Bb7 is not part of the key of G, but it is part of the key of Gm. Because it is borrowed from the minor parallel, it sounds a bit sad or "bluesy" even though its a major chord. Google "Flat III Major" for some deeper insights!

      Thanks @Cedar River…very cool to learn about that. Great explanation. I’ll look up more about Flat III Major. Been trying to learn more chord substitutions lately :)

    Your voice is better than Connie Converse's voice. Maybe you should do her songs more.
