A natural beauty and oh my, what a voice!

I think you'll find that the song was written by Townes Van Zandt.

@fmrelay - Thanks for clearing up those lyrics and their meaning. Greatly appreciated.

This is a great song; it's tough to say if I like this version or Willie's. I'm more familiar with Willie's but this one is damn good. Emmylou has such a powerful voice. She could probably break the longnecks in the room if she really let it go. Thanks for posting.

@fmrelay do you realize this was the original the composer of the song? That is what counts and she sings it well

@tehnoplus1 I partly disagree with litlbitmorluv. I admit I can't make out the first verse, but all the rest comes together very nicely into a comprehensible (if fictional) story. Pancho died in a shootout with Mexican Federal forces, while accomplice Lefty "somehow" got enough money to flee the same day to Cleveland. The implication is that Lefty sold Pancho out & was allowed to escape on condition that he leave Mexico. "Dust in his mouth" is an English idiom for his regret.

@TruegrassBoy yes, Ricky joined the Hot Band the following year 1978. He had just joined the 1st time I saw Emmylou 'live' at The Royal Albert Hall London that year............laurie
