about

I’ve known this song for a long time, likely first learning it from Elizabeth LaPrelle. This is one of the first songs that I really heard as “spooky jazz inflected folk”, with visions of performing it as a jazz trio. This isn’t quite that but I love what we came up with and Rob’s bass solo absolutely nails it.

lyrics

Well I married me a wife
She gave me trouble all of my life
Run me out in that cold rain and snow

Rain and snow, rain and snow, oh Lord
She run me out in that cold rain and snow

Well, I saw her coming down the stairs
Combing back her long yellow hair
And her cheeks were as red as a rose

As a rose, as a rose, oh Lord
And her cheeks were as red as a rose

Well, I've done all I can do
To try to get along with you
And I can't get along this way

This way, this way
And I can't get along this way

I saw her coming in the room
That's where she met her fatal doom
And I ain't gonna be treated this way

This way, this way
I ain't gonna be treated this way
