Shirley-Louise just turned 82 and this song has a few of the things she sometimes says in it. The idea was for her to sing the chorus but it was a bit much for her although we used some of her vocal. (She's not going just yet) Drums - Nashville Classic Waltz Bass- RT 1122 - Acoustic Country Waltz Autoharp - RT 1109 - Old Time Slow Waltz Guitar - RT 828 - Country waltz Hope you enjoy it. Comments and criticism welcome. https://soundcloud.com/tuigorge/please-wont-you-let-me-go-home Please Won't You Let Me Go Home please \| E let me go \| home to my \| mother \| I \| don't like it \| here any \| B more \| \| Let me go \| home to my \| brother \| \| why can't i \| open the \| E door \| \| let me go \| home to my \| little son \| john i \| A loved him so \| much but he \| died \| and i \| E cried and i \| cried and i \| cried \| \| B please won't you \| let me go \| E home \| she \| dances like \| sun on the \| water \| \| A sings the sweet \| song of the \| stars \| the \| E little girl \| runs too \| B enchanted to \| walk but \| she's run so \| fast and so \| far \| please \| E let me go \| home to my \| mother \| I \| don't like it \| here any \| B more \| \| Let me go \| home to my \| brother \| \| why can't i \| open the \| E door \| \| let me go \| home to my \| little son \| john i \| A loved him so \| much but he \| died \| and i \| E cried and i \| cried and i \| cried \| \| B please won't you \| let me go \| E home \| she \| sits looking \| out of the \| window \| \| A waits for the past to app \| ear \| she \| E lives it \| again sweet \| B memories \| flow then \| peacefully \| sleeps in her \| chair \| please \| E let me go \| home to my \| mother \| I \| don't like it \| here any \| B more \| \| Let me go \| home to my \| brother \| \| why can't i \| open the \| E door \| \| let me go \| home to my \| little son \| john i \| A loved him so \| much but he \| died \| and i \| E cried and i \| cried and i \| cried \| \| B please won't you \| let me go \| E home \| \| B please won't you \| let me go \| E home A \| E \| https://soundcloud.com/tuigorge

Thank goodness she's still mainly a happy person. Frustrating at times though. Ah well, we all get old if we don't die first. Cheers. https://soundcloud.com/tuigorge

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.
