Dusty Boxcar Wall (Live, with Commentary) - Gillian Welch, David Rawlings - .wmv

"This one was good for a while when we used to play it and then it got BAD... You must have heard it when it was good... This is an Eric Andersen tune we just got bullied into singing." HOW OFTEN DO YOU HEAR AN INTRO LIKE THAT? The song which follows is an amazing version of "Dusty Boxcar Walls". I would have loved to have heard it when David thought it was "BAD". I can't imagine any of their songs being "Bad". Enjoy!!!

Dusty Boxcar Wall - written by Eric Andersen,
as sung by Gillian Welch and David Rawlings:

I'm going away my baby,
I'm gonna leave you honey now.
That train passed by and you lay sleeping,
I'm gonna write you a letter on a dusty boxcar wall.

Now, the only two things a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk.
And the only time that he's satisfied,
Is when he's on a drunk.

So I'm going away my baby,
I'm gonna leave you honey now.
Well that train passed by and you lay sleeping
I'm gonna write you a letter on a dusty boxcar wall.

I once loved a boy in Cincinnati,
And I loved a boy in sunny Tennessee.
Well a city boy will fill your heart with sadness
But a country boy's as good as he can be.

So I'm going away my baby,
I'm gonna leave you honey now.
That train passed by and you lay sleeping,
I'm gonna write you a letter on a dusty boxcar wall.

I'm going away my baby,
I've got to leave you honey now.
That train passed by and you lay sleeping,
I'm gonna write you a letter on a dusty boxcar wall.
I'm gonna write you a letter on a dusty boxcar wall.

I'm gonna write you a letter on a dusty boxcar wall!
