Poppy Smallwood - Never Tire of the Road (Andy Irvine cover)
A brilliant and hopeful song as we come towards the end of the year by the legendary Andy Irvine.
Lyrics:
I was just a small time country boy when I left that dusty town
Route 66 to the Westward when I hopped an old freight down
California, here I come!
By the side door Pullman and my sunburnt thumb
They called us okees, low down bums
And the police on us frowned
Never tire of the Road!
Never tire of the rolling wheel,
Never tire of the ways of the world,
Way out yonder is calling me
And the dark road leads me onward,
And the highway that's my code
And the lonesome voice that I heard in my head said
"Never tire of the road"
California to the New York islands, me and my guitar
And we played in manys a hobo jungle, manys a skid row bar
Standing out in the wind and the rain
That lonesome whistle is a sweet refrain
When you're waiting for some old freight train that carries an empty car
Never tire of the Road!
Never tire of the rolling wheel,
Never tire of the ways of the world,
Way out yonder is calling me
And the dark road leads me onward,
And the highway that's my code
And the lonesome voice that I heard in my head said
"Never tire of the road"
"ever let them fool you or take you by suprise
The dirty smell of the politician, the man with the greed in his eyes
One big union, that's our plan!
And the IWW is your only man
The flames of discontent we'll fan for the cause that never dies
Never tire of the Road!
Never tire of the rolling wheel,
Never tire of the ways of the world,
Way out yonder is calling me
And the dark road leads me onward,
And the highway that's my code
And the lonesome voice that I heard in my head said
"Never tire of the road"

I've been wanting to do one in Spanish all year and when a friend recommended this song I got very excited. It's such a beautiful melody and a haunting story.

This song is an absolute banger. Sorry for making it a bit melancholy with my terrible guitar skills, I just had to sing it! Also featuring my foot tambourine this week.

Eva Cassidy, what a vocalist. She died aged 33 from skin cancer. The world was robbed of her talent far too soon.

So I only found out this week this is actually a cover of a cover. The original song was by a bad ass lady who really was involved in the French resistance called Anna Marly. In her version she plays the guitar even faster than Cohen which I can't quite wrap my head (or my fingers) around. Anyway, here's my poor version. Lyrics: When they poured across the border I was cautioned to surrender Th...

My music has been influenced a lot by early 2000s female singer-songwriters. I remember the huge impression this song made on me as a teenager, and I still think it's totally beautiful.
