lyrics

The boys called her sweetheart and the girls called her sam
She liked boxing and fishing and chamomile tea
Four foot eleven of whiskey and weather
Rode barrelhorse in the stampede

I musta looked lonesome I musta looked lost
City boy playin at being a man
When she sat herseld down and she bought be a drink
Said honey don’t you look a damn

Damn but that little girl sure liked her liquor
We drunk and we swung until quarter past three
And someone got beat up and someone got laid
And both of them someones was me

Well the horse I rode in on was an old Shetland pony
My five gallon hat only held 2.3
But the filly I found at the left bank saloon
Made a tumbling rumblin man out of me

Woke up next morning at half past hungover
My lip busted open, my pants in a tree
And a note on the table said thanks for the dance
When you’re next in Alberta, stick to Calgary

Yeah the boys called her often, the girls called her sam
Had her three kids between four and fourteen
Quick on the trigger and far as I figger
The finest damn woman I ever did see

about

Lone Crow Jubilee Vancouver, British Columbia

Lone Crow Jubilee is a 7-piece band in Vancouver, Canada, playing roots and country music, riffing on old songs and new, melodies that are both original and traditional. Sometimes it's straight-up country; sometimes it's old school folk; sometimes it's rootsy rock'n'roll.
This ain't your mom's folk music, but it might just be your old drunk grand-daddy's.
