about

Dave: I came up with a melody/chord progression on my banjo while sitting on the beach in Baja, Mexico, and thought it might remain an instrumental, but later came up with these lyrics to sing about what I was feeling. I wanted to write a universal old time song, playing off inspiration I had but also trying to channel universal, "dust bowl" era themes.

lyrics

Oh my darlin'
Oh my darlin'
Oh my darlin' do you hear me call your name

Gone across the mountain
Gone into the sun
Gone but I'm coming back again
When the rivers run.

Oh my darlin'
Oh my darlin'
Oh my darlin' do you hear me call your name

Gone out on the road
Dust in my face
Gone but I'm coming back again
When the rivers run.

Oh my darlin'
Oh my darlin'
Oh my darlin' do you hear me call your name

What a night just to hold you
What a night just to laugh
I've been gone too long
But I'm comin' back

Oh my darlin'
Oh my darlin'
Oh my darlin' do you hear me call your name
