RIO BRAVO tribute - Lonesome Town (Ricky Nelson cover)

Cover version by Pequinito. Ricky Nelson made his movie debut in RIO BRAVO where he played Colorado, a gunman hired to ride guard on a wagon train. He is drawn into a fight between a ruthless rancher and the town sheriff after his boss is gunned down.
The song used is Lonesome Town.
Words and music by Baker Knight (who also wrote The Wonder Of You and many other hits)
There's a place where lovers go, to cry their troubles away
And they call it, Lonesome Town, where the broken hearts stay
You can buy a dream or two, to last you all through the years
And the only price you pay, is a heart full of tears
Going down to Lonesome Town, where the broken hearts stay
Going down to Lonesome Town, to cry my troubles away
In the town of broken dreams, the streets are filled with regret
Maybe down in Lonesome Town, I can learn to forget
Maybe down in Lonesome Town, I can learn to forget
[Lonesome Town]

The songs from Rio Bravo are so super. Rick Nelson is my 2nd favorite singer, 2nd only to Elvis. If I could have any singing voice I'd choose Rick Nelson's any day. I would choose Elvis songs, mostly but some of Rick's are great too. They died too young, but thanks to technology we still keep them alive. They won't ever leave my building unless I'm gone too. Now, I've done a damn good job of making me self sad. Dog gone it anyhow!
