This song was popularised by Willie Nelson but I prefer this version by the original writer Townes Van Zandt. I love the mariachi horns. Van Zandt wasn't so keen and claimed they were put in by the producer without his approval. There must be over a hundred versions of this song. A true classic.

The live cover version by the Zac Brown Band is stunning.

Look away now if you don't like folk music. I give you the very wonderful "Show of Hands" and their song about Cornish exiles




..And a few years ago at one of their shows this guy was supporting them - he too is excellent

Glad you liked it - ZBB in general are superb musicians and put on a great show. I've seen them do Devil Went Down To Georgia live in person, the musicianship and skill involved to play it as they do is really quite something to see/hear.

Some inspired lyrics in this story of lust.


“A little boy came along
Name of Louis Armstrong
Said that girl who left me silly
She liked the looks of me and my willy”
