ramblin' jack elliott - will james lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
when i was but a small boy, pa bought me many books
about the creatures on the river banks, and the sins of old sea cooks
but the one i never left behind, were the old forgotten gains
were the tale of wild and windy slopes about a man they called will james

[chorus]
and his race to reach the sun set was a high and lonesome time
like a coyote always looking back he left no tracks behind
so i memorized these pictures and it’s still the very best
if whiskey was his mistress his true love was the west

[verse 2]
i remember up on dead man creek about 30 years and more
i hired on to break in colts which i’d never done before
just a city kid, i asked myself now what would will james do
and you know it was the d-mnedest thing but it kind of got me through

[chorus]
