  • Actually there are some parts missing, but overall great job!

  • just need to say, Phil Ochs wrote this, and GL DID do a great rendition, but it is one of the few Gordon recorded that was not his......

  • Fantastic... very heart felt

  • Very very good job! I love this song! *****

  • Excellent job! I must say this is one of my favourite GL songs...

  • Me too! Love the words...'I'll kiss you one more time and leave you on the rolling river shore..."

  • Me too I love those words...true, they're so striking and sweet...

  • @kaitlynn657 IT's Phil OCHS SONG. Of course not on YT but I prefer umbiss' version to GL as he really feels the song. It's in the vocals. 

  • Sorry you haven't heard of him. He was a suicide, and a prolific writer. Lightfoot's rendition is one of his best.

    He also wrote a funny song called Draft Dodger Blues.

    "Sarge, I'm only eightneen, got a ruptured spleen, and I always carry a purse...."

  • It's actually Draft Dodger Rag, and has been covered by Tom Paxton, Pete Seeger, and the Chad Mitchell Trio, among others.

  • ManlyStump:

    Thanks for the correction. Should have known that. Have the vinyl.

  • Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for putting one of my favorite GL songs up on YouTube. You've done it proud.
