New Mexico Blues
All rights reserved Edsall/Pisano Derby Road Music
Key of D 6/8 time
Falling back into nothing, cold New Mexico night
There and like the horses I had leaving on my mind
The wind rattled the walls and hammered through the sage
Back into nothing on the range around Santa Fe.
CH.
Oh the Pinyon, and sage
Comfort me
Townes Van Sandt on a windy day
with the New Mexico Blues
I’ve never been to Ft Worth, I never saw you live
But I read every book they wrote about your life
If ever I had met you, there wouldn’t be much to say
Living on the road makes us act that way
solo CH
I would have followed you down, into the darkness and light
But the lows were too dark and the highs just a little too bright
You passed in ’97, I suppose your race was run
I hear you in the wind now, the rain the snow and the sun
CH
end
I start my watch, count down to go
lean on your neck whisper low…
You takeoff and I trust your eagle eye
we gallop on, seekin' those flags
When you were younger, you could not canter straight
we shied, we piled until I learned to wait
Now you’re resting, in our back field,
Staring thru the window begging for your next meal
CH
Did I dream ...We’d get this far
Big red horse you’re my angel .....You’re my star
That carney road life in canvas stalls
I drove my rig til the wheels fell off
your voice in the morning, still starts my day
you count on me, for all your grass and hay
It's like sitting on a rocket, right between my knees
So I threw that money down and brought you home, with me,
I was lonely then, just me and my horse
All by myself and wondering about divorce..
Solo (on D like part of fiddle tune Darlin Cory)
Now you have a friend, a power pellet black
I take him on the road, he always brings me back
His stride's as long as yours, he’s brave and careful too
He is here and he loves to stand by you
Tag: Big red horse you’re my angel what a ride what a heart

Then There's the Rolling Stones
Mia Edsall all rights reserved Derby Road Music
There’s the air that I breathe, the water I drink
There’s food that I eat, then there’s the Rolling Stones
There’s a car that I drive, there’s a horse that I ride
There’s the chances I take, then there’s the Rolling Stones

Charlie went to heaven and flew to the clouds
I stopped my truck and played it real loud
Fingers on a devils chord, for another encore roar
Charlie got the beat, steadfast and sweet
Solo..vs format C#m, F#m, B, E A, A, Aflat
Ch Vox
Charlie sat close to Keith, for a musical feast
rooted and entwined, how my blues men shine

Lonesome
I fell in love with you and now I’m lonesome
Sad and walking out the door
I fell in love with you and now I’m lonesome
I can’t stand this feeling anymore
I’m singing high and lonesome
On this dingy stage tonight
I’m singing high and lonesome
Just me myself and I
Ch
My head hurts from drinking
My heart hurts from thinking
I’m walking the floor over you
My back hurts from working
My eyes hurt from searching
Every dive you’ve ever passed through
All we ever felt was lonesome
I just kept tagging along
All we ever felt was lonesome
Goodbye, farewell so long
Solo on CH.

Repeat 1st VS
reprise “I can’t stand this feeling anymore”

Rock in the River
All rights reserved Derby Road Music Mia Edsall
CH
I’m a rock in the river
The river surrounds me
I'm making waves standing right here
I'm makin’ waves, the river keeps movin’
On and on for a thousand years
VS1
Here in the water, I'm stuck to the earth
With craggy rock mountains and the valley below
First came the natives, then came the trappers
Then came the miners panning for gold
1/2 ch. bridge
I'm still in the River
The river keeps moving
Flowing on for thousand years
VS 2
I hear the sound from the big ole hotel
They’re dancing and drinking to honky tonk songs
I miss the sound and smell of the salmon
Sadly now, the salmon are gone
I’m in the quiet and beauty of time
It's dry and hot and the river's so low
The weather is changing, that's no surprise
I'm hoping this winter for twelve feet of snow

Dear Friend Pony
Pony (E)
I could not concentrate on my homework, late in the day
I’d slip on down, to the barn and brush my pony
I’d curry and comb him, copper penny bright
Then he’d step on my toe and I’d be limping all night
CH
Let’s ride pony, let’s go…not too fast, not too slow
Feel the air pony, green grass!
Take me for a ride in some open country, now
He had blonde in his tail and a blaze in a crooked line
I cantered through the field on my dear friend pony
We jumped tall fences and scared the grown ups so
We out ran them all, when the horn began to blow
CH
Bridge
Now I keep three horses, chestnut, black and bay
They’re my special friends, I’m with them everyday
