I held you tightly to me your hair so blonde Honey I've needed you too long. I found this puzzling. Did he save her or was that "it" for her. The song has a sweet, sentimental feel but takes on a lot darker tone if she dies. That would be an interesting contrast with the happy music and story to that point (something they might play in horror film). Really like the feel, recording, mix, and instrument selection for the style. Just thrown a little by that verse. Very nicely done!! Take care. Greg

I wrote this around people known back then as tramps. They often traveled in railway freight cars to get from place to place to find work. So I tried some how to include this in the song. (A tramp is a long-term homeless person who travels from place to place as a vagrant, traditionally walking all year round. The term "tramp" became a common way to refer to such people in 19th-century Britain and America.) To tell you the truth I don't even know if this lady dies. Due to my wife reaction to the lyric I felt it best to let the listener decide. I hope the verse didn't throw you too much but I guess Im happy with your reaction. Not that I'm sadistic. Ive killed a few characters off in songs with no lack of protest from my wife.. I think she stands firmly on your side. Thank you for your comments Greg.

Guitarhacker Veteran Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 10,069 Middlesex, NC	Interesting song. You use some interesting styles. This fits quite well to what you were looking to accomplish. Depression era music.... The first two verses had me thinking this was about a hobo and his dog.... not too many women would put up with the situation described in those verses..... stealing eggs, living under bridges ..... at least very few that I know. But since a dog can't whistle..... that kinda blew that line of thought. Reading the comments by others and you.... at least I have the hobo part right. Nice job on this You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.com Add nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Both my parents and all my grandparents suffered through it. This is a nice write and a very effective vocal and arrangement for the tune. I would never have thought of using a dixleland band for such a song -- but dang it works really well. Oh, and the mystique is very cool. Good one!!

My favorite lines: 'Sleeping under bridges hiding in old barns. We'd steal some chicken eggs from someones farm We're always getting bye don't do no wrong. Honey I've needed you too long.'
