 Rate Will James
Artist : Ramblin` Jack Elliot
Song : Will James
When I was but a small boy, pa bought me many
books
About the creatures on the river banks,
and the sins of ole 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
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 memerized these pictures
and it's still the very best
If whiskey was
his mistress his true love was the west
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 damnest thing but it kind of got
me through
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 memerized these pictures and it's
still the very best
If whiskey was his
mistress his true love was the west
