- LYRICS:
Keepin' on smokin' Lord I keep on jokin'
Keepin' on movin' around
Leavin' everything behind until at last
I find what no-one's ever found
Feelin' kind of lonely on the telephone
Today I must keep movin' on
Leavin' everything I know I really need
And so I guess I'll move along
It doesn't matter if the sun don't shine
It doesn't matter if the rain don't fall
I could think about you you all the time
Do you ever think of me at all
Keepin' on yearnin' keepin' on learnin'
Lord I keep turnin' it on
Leavin' everything I know I really love
And so I guess I'll move along
It doesn't matter if the sun don't shine
It doesn't matter if the rain don't fall
I know I could make you mine
You know I wouldn't mind at all
Keepin' on smokin' gotta keep on jokin'
Gotta keep movin' around
Leavin' everything behind until at last
I find what no-one's ever found
It doesn't matter if the sun don't shine
It doesn't matter if the rain don't fall
I could think about you all the time
Do you ever think of me at all
Keepin' on yearnin' gotta keep on learnin'
Gotta keep turnin' it on
Leavin' everything I know I really love
And so I guess I'll move along
It doesn't matter if the sun don't shine
It doesn't matter if the rain don't fall
I know I could make you mine
You know I wouldn't mind at all

Thank you very much, Jeff! It's an easy enough song to play and sing. The chords I use are: Am, Em, Am7, F, C and G.
I’m surprised this Gordon Lightfoot song never made the mainstream when it was released. Maybe the lyrics were just not what a lot of people expected from his typical writing style. I don’t think I’ve heard this one before, but I think the song is well executed. You performed this very well, Robert and I’m glad you posted this wonderful tune! Excellent choice and great playing and singing my friend! *Very* well done!! :-)
Thank you for your kind words, Bret! This song remained unreleased for years, for some reason, but was eventually included as a bonus track on the 4-disc box set "Songbook." It's a fun song to sing.
Great toe-tappin' rendition of Gordon Lightfoot's song! RIP Gordon Lightfoot

Wonderful!!!
Thank you! Glad you like it!
I wonder why it never was included on an album? I really like the lyrics. I have not heard the original, but your performance of it sounds fantastic!
Thank you kindly, Ginger! Gordon wrote so many fine songs, I guess he found it hard to pick which ones to leave of his albums.
Hi Robot, your guitar and song is excellent. I like it.
Thank you for your kind words!
Like a lot of the folks, not familiar with the song but I like it. Great job!
Thank you very much!
"Keepin' On Yearnin' " is an obscure Gordon Lightfoot composition that never made it onto any of his studio albums. It finally saw the light of day in 1999 when it was included as a bonus track on the 4-CD SONGBOOK box set. I think it is a good song and deserves to be heard, so here is my humble solo cover version!
Perfect blend for a beautiful composition! Lightfoot can "maybe" be matched as the ultimate songwriter, but not surpassed! Fabulous job, ol' buddy!!!
@@OzzyTunesII Thank you Hal! I agree that Lightfoot is one of the best songwriters of all time. He may not have been as prolific as Bob Dylan or Neil Young, but quality-wise he is right up there with the best. Have a great day my friend!
