Rory Gallagher-As the Crow Flies [Irish Tour 74]

Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah,
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah,
As the crow flies baby,
Well, I ain't so far from you,
As the crow flies baby.
Well, I ain't so far from you,
But since I don't have wings,
I can't get home as fast as I want to.
Um um um hoo,

As the crow flies baby,
Well, I ain't so far from you,
As the crow flies baby.
Well, I ain't so far from you,
But since I don't have wings,
I can't get home as fast as I want to.

In a dream last night,
Where I heard you call my name,
In a dream last night,
Where I heard you call my name,
Well, I took it as an omen,
And I jumped on the very first freight train.

Yeah..... as the crow flies.

ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

Well, you don't know baby,
How I miss your sweet caress,
Well, you don't know baby,
How I miss your sweet caress,
When I'm in your lovin' arms,
I swear I'm at my very best.

As the crow flies baby,
That's how I'm on my way,
As the crow flies baby,
I'm on my way.

ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah

If I don't stop runnin',
I can get home for the break of day,
Get home for the break of day,
Get home for the break of day,
Get home for the break of day,
Get home for the break of day,
Get home for the break of day,
Get home for the break of day,
Get home for the break of day.

Reporter: How does it feel to be the best guitar player in the world?

Jimi Hendrix: I dont know... ask Rory Gallagher.

If this doesn't move you, man, you may already be dead.

Why did Rory play this way, you ask? Because that's how ya play a Resonator guitar, son, with a tasty blend of delta blues, mixed with a sweet touch of celtic folk.

Rory was a righteous human being first, long before he picked up his guitars. Book that. He truly loved his audiences as much as we loved him. Nobody else like him. Before or after. Seeing him in a small club, everybody sweating together...Rory plays on, forever.
