    Lyrics:
    Look out, Mama, there's a white boat coming up the river
    With a big red beacon and a flag and a man on the rail
    I think you'd better call John
    'cause it don't look like they're here to deliver the mail
    And it's less than a mile away
    I hope they didn't come to stay
    It's got numbers on the side and a gun
    And it's making big waves
    Daddy's gone, my brother's out hunting in the mountains
    Big John's been drinking since the river took Emmy Lou
    So the powers that be left me here to do all the thinking
    And I just turned twenty-two
    I was wondering what to do
    And the closer they got
    The more those feelings grew
    Daddy's rifle in my hand felt reassuring
    He told me, 'Red means run, Son, numbers add up to nothing'
    But when that first shot hit the dock, I saw it coming
    Raised the rifle to my eye
    Never stopped to wonder why
    Then I saw black and my face flash in the sky
    Shelter me from the powder and the finger
    Cover me with the thought that pulled the trigger
    Just think of me as one you never figured
    To fade away so young
    With so much left undone
    Remember me to my love
    I know I'll miss her

    The Caution Horses is a superb album. This version of Neil Young's song is a highlight both within and outside that album.

    Saw you in concert years ago in a church in Maine. I was with my father, and my sister. It was lovely. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful music 🎶 it reminds me of the first and last time I ever went target practicing with my dad, who also plays the accordion 🪗

    Your voice is as haunting as the words. Better than Neil Young's version, I dare say. I've listened to this many times and it still can move me to tears.

    CJ's... Sit back. Close your eyes & listen. Spellbinding instrumentalist,, and her voice stops time. Melts rocks.
    Neil writes songs that accommodate his unique voice, so it's very rare to hear a cover of one of his songs that's better than his original. This is one of those exceptions...
    Enjoy

      Just absolutely sublime. And the production and engineering are extraordinary. You can hear every string of every instrument with perfect sympathy to the arrangement and the band.
      Been years since I've heard this version, but it's unfathomable how perfect it is on every level. Everyone involved in this recording must have been absolutely committed to their craft.

    I saw them in a very small venue in my hometown, a venue I had played at many times myself, it was so intimate and it was such a great show.

    I have seen the CJ live many times.
    Their approach, tone, arrangements, minimalism, selections, & so forth,
    Extremely well done.
    One of the best ROCKNROLL bands ever.
    Very inspired.
