    One of the most underrated guitarists. I'm sad to see that this song doesn't have as much views as songs like country roads. A forgotten treasure

      I would not compare a garage
      band and a stunning young
      Guitar player to a National
      Treasure. Doc's touch, rich voice and human warmth are
      on another level. We can only
      appreciate all artists for what
      they offered enriching our lives

      @@MedSurg420 I apologize for
      a rude comment. The Deadheads
      I jammed with in Boston.and San
      Diego used the term "The best
      garage band ever" on account of
      the eclectic and varied repertoire
      I prefer tradtional versions, e.g.
      the Skip James and Willie Johnson
      modern takes in Scorsese's movies
      drive me up the wall. Pete Seeger said that a Chef may be trying hard
      to express himself but our stomach
      might not agree. Garcia was a very
      accomplished banjoist and loved
      old time stuff so he never strayed
      as far as the guys who butchered
      Skip's and Willie's songs.

    Was in the spring, one sunny day
    My sweetheart left me, Lord, she went away
    And now she's gone and I don't worry
    Lord, I'm sittin' on top of the world
    She called me up from down in El Paso
    She said "Come back, daddy, ooh, I need you so"
    And now she's gone, and I don't worry
    Lord, I'm sittin' on top of the world
    If you don't like my peaches, don't you shake my tree
    And get out of my orchard, let my peaches be
    And now she's gone, and I don't worry
    Lord, I'm sittin' on top of the world
    And don't you come here runnin', holdin' out your hand
    I'm gonna get me a woman like you got your man
    And now she's gone, and I don't worry
    Lord, I'm sittin' on top of the world
    It was in the spring, one sunny day
    My sweetheart left me, Lord, she went away
    And now she's gone, and I don't worry

    • @SneakyCheeseThief
      @SneakyCheeseThief 3 місяці тому +3

      It’s probably plain 4/4 time technically, but since the flat-picking has a chugging rhythm, so I’d write it as 2/2 (cut time). And just in my head I’d say BPM is 88-90

      @@PaddyByrne931 you’re very welcome! - by the way, I checked out some of your music on your channel. You’ve got a great voice for stripped down guitar - almost Elvis Costello nasally on that She Knows cover; and really gritty in that song “love will not conquer” or whatever it’s called. I love the lyrics to that. Did you write it - or take it from an Irish ballad perhaps. I recall a brief run I found in an old book of songs from the early 1800s that goes:
      “My love was handsome, tall, and young,
      Genteel his gait, yet manly strong, and
      O! Sweetest language grac’d his tongue”
      Obviously these are words spoken by a women about a man, whereas your lyrics are spoken by a man about a women … and are less purely complimentary; but the whole series of idea phrase is remarkably similar.
      Edit: I should add that while I am a musician, and a lover of history, poetry, and language, I don’t know a great deal about Irish ballads and their themes, except via Yeats and some lectures by Seamus Heaney I saw in the late 90s. So perhaps your song is just a development of a traditional Irish ballad in a typically Irish way. In which case I think it’s wonderful. The Scottish ballads we’ve passed down in my family are similar in their changes and reapplication. Anyway, cheers from New Orleans, USA
