Lyrics:
Look out, Mama, there's a white boat coming up the river
With a big red beacon and a flag and a man on the rail
I think you'd better call John
'cause it don't look like they're here to deliver the mail
And it's less than a mile away
I hope they didn't come to stay
It's got numbers on the side and a gun
And it's making big waves
Daddy's gone, my brother's out hunting in the mountains
Big John's been drinking since the river took Emmy Lou
So the powers that be left me here to do all the thinking
And I just turned twenty-two
I was wondering what to do
And the closer they got
The more those feelings grew
Daddy's rifle in my hand felt reassuring
He told me, 'Red means run, Son, numbers add up to nothing'
But when that first shot hit the dock, I saw it coming
Raised the rifle to my eye
Never stopped to wonder why
Then I saw black and my face flash in the sky
Shelter me from the powder and the finger
Cover me with the thought that pulled the trigger
Just think of me as one you never figured
To fade away so young
With so much left undone
Remember me to my love
I know I'll miss her

I love this rendition. It’s beautiful about a tragic tale. Favorite song by them
My absolute fave CJ track. The last line never fails to bring a tear to my eye…✌️🇦🇺
The Caution Horses is a superb album. This version of Neil Young's song is a highlight both within and outside that album.
I saw them in a very small venue in my hometown, a venue I had played at many times myself, it was so intimate and it was such a great show.
Saw you in concert years ago in a church in Maine. I was with my father, and my sister. It was lovely. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful music 🎶 it reminds me of the first and last time I ever went target practicing with my dad, who also plays the accordion 🪗
Caught them on this tour with my high school sweetheart and a couple friends of ours. April 90 Hamilton
Man. What a song. What a story.
I have seen the CJ live many times.
Their approach, tone, arrangements, minimalism, selections, & so forth,
Extremely well done.
One of the best ROCKNROLL bands ever.
Very inspired.
Such a phenomenal album.
Music For GREY.,SPACE MARINES.
Your voice is as haunting as the words. Better than Neil Young's version, I dare say. I've listened to this many times and it still can move me to tears.
Nope ! This is not even close to it ! Where is the powder ? Don't get me wrong, it's nicely done and arranged but where is the fucking powder, i can't smell it.
CJ's... Sit back. Close your eyes & listen. Spellbinding instrumentalist,, and her voice stops time. Melts rocks.
Neil writes songs that accommodate his unique voice, so it's very rare to hear a cover of one of his songs that's better than his original. This is one of those exceptions...
Enjoy
Just absolutely sublime. And the production and engineering are extraordinary. You can hear every string of every instrument with perfect sympathy to the arrangement and the band.
Been years since I've heard this version, but it's unfathomable how perfect it is on every level. Everyone involved in this recording must have been absolutely committed to their craft.
@@grantmcinnes1176 as a Brit i am always amazed by the musicianship of north american bands - its just so far ahead of ours
Saw you in Toronto and Glasgow. Played cd's over and over early 90s x

Fabulous music, magical voice, thanks, good time for you
Good sound.
J'N VOUS OUBLIERAI JAMAIS ; ESBROUF ET ARGOS .
First time I have heard the studio version, it's good but a number of live versions are far superior
🤠✌🧡

I don't think this song is that old.
@@jonblakemore6454 old enough only I wrote the storyline and more than likely the junkies got it from ryan adams who got it from me
