Song Written by Utah Phillips- look him up- an American treasure and friend of the working class. I just discovered these Honey's and love everything I have heard.
On the banks of the river, where the willows hang down, Where the wild birds all warble with a low moaning sound, Down in the hollow where the water runs cold, It's there I have listened to the lies that you told. Now I lie on my bed and I see your sweet face. The past I remember, time cannot erase. The letters you wrote me were written in shame, And I know that your conscience still echos my pain. Now the nights are so long, my sorrow runs deep. Nothing is worse than a night without sleep. I walk out alone, I look at the sky, Too empty to sing, too lonesome to cry. Now if the ladies were blackbirds and the ladies were thrushes, I'd lie there for hours in the chilly cold marshes. If the ladies were squirrels with them high bushy tails, I'd fill up my shotgun with rock salt and nails.
Didnt think i would like this song thinking it would be a Childers knock off. Such a great rendition of this song. Think its my favorite version of this song by far. Such a great duo.
Worst thing about rock salt & nails is not the sting it is the sour and 'stang on the extraction. Another confirmation of a childhood lesson a 'gazillion' times learned......just because the green apple tree is an excellent source of ammunition....does not mean it is the best roost from which to launch projectiles. Especially when your brother, cousins, and other locals throw like Big League pitchers. KINDA MAKES ONE A SITTING DUCK. BESPECKLED WITH WELTS... ness pass?

So many good covers of Utah’s amazing song. 2 of my favorites are Tyler Childers and Willie Watson’s versions. Add this one to the list!!

The song is not even written by Tyler
This is a great old folk song written by Utah Phillips. It has been sung by Dylan, Steve Young and many other folk artists.
As far as I’m concerned, The Local Honeys can do no wrong!
Nice, very nice. Can't wait to see y'all at this years Forest Fest May 19.
Beautiful

I absolutely love your voice! I think you should be lead vocals more.
Pretty version of Utah Phillips song.
Oh Fuck yeah

Was this song written by Tyler or did he just cover it ?
This is very good ladies!!
It's a cover written by Utah Phillips. Both good versions.
Red Wood thanks!
@@Melinacabin Utah Phillips wrote it but never published it. He didn't want it published but it escaped! th-cam.com/video/TzSRPxqdtyc/w-d-xo.html
Came to ask the same thing. I couldnt find the writing credits. Thanks!
Willie Watson does an awesome version too
Yeeeeeeessss

Two hot chicks singing a song written by a member of the IWW, U Utah Phillips.
Steve Roberts please explain what the IWW is? I thought TC wrote this but maybe I’m wrong.
Industrial Workers of the World. The one big union. Tyler covered this one.
Red Wood and again, thanks! 😉
Yeah!
Beautiful
