about

Kinda spontaneous. Formed itself. Love this lonesome cowboy stuff... a la Hunter/Garcia and Marty Robbins. Lyrics in the high voice were placeholders. Made sense of them for the lower voice translating from mumble to English. Sounds like one tough dude.

lyrics

Pearly Joe came ridin in
from the Western plain
Pearly Joe was made for pain
Was singin in the rain

Makin love given the pain
Dusty trails Indian towners
Buckskin garb 'n deerskin hat
And a Bowie knife that flies

Pearly Joe was a man
His fate was sealed for a gamin man
I died in lucky dice that day

Pearly Joe and his brother Frank
Stayin tall and savin face day by friend

about

Stephen Scholle Hartsdale, New York
