by Dave Torbert (RIP). Haunting pedal steel....let's roll another number to this one.
GYPSY COWBOY
(DAVE TORBERT)
THE MOON BEAMED DOWN SO LIGHTLY ON DISTANT FIELD OF CLOVER
THE GYPSY COWBOY WANDERS BECAUSE HE KNOW IT'S OVER
AND EVERYTHING SO QUIET THE TOWN IS DOWN IN SLUMBER
HIS COWBOY LADY MUTTERS "LET'S ROLL ANOTHER NUMBER"
OH, OH SO SAD
THE TROUBLE THAT'S IN THIS OLD WORLD MAKES ME SO SAD
OH OH SO SAD MAMA CRIED
AND O'ER THE FIELD OF CLOVER AN ANGEL BAND WAS SINGING
WITH MAIDENS THROWING ROSES AND HEAVEN'S LIGHTS WERE SCREAMING
CALLING THROUGH THE DARKNESS THE VOICE OF ONE MAN'S BROTHER
SPOUTING DISCONTENT WORDS OF ONE WAY UP OR THE OTHER
OH, OH SO SAD
YOU BUILD IT UP YOU TEAR IT DOWN HOME IT MAKES ME SO SAD
OH OH SO SAD MAMA CRIED

When Michael sang the first notes this past May in NY, I knew right away; hadnt been played in years. Torby was sooo good, credit the current band for mastering the material to keep the flow going.

Hey KC, I'm 55, but right now I"m 17, and just getting ready to explore the Cosmos. Once again, if you get my subtle drift. This CD will be mine, to companion Panama Red. Great group, great time, never to be repeated or duplicated ever again. Tanx!

@HailBee 17 again! I'm 21 and dig the old school stuff as much as any vintage hippie :) Need any more songs for me to post let me know, I'm a hardcore fan, I have about all the bootleg shows. Might post a few from the Hollywood Palladium 1971 soon, one of their greatest shows IMO with Jerry still on steel.

Like another comment on one of my NRPS vids, I think I smell reefer.
