Tried three times to send message. Succeeded at last.

I saw a doco on Levon which was amazing. I've been a huge fan of The Band since the very early days and still give their music a going over on Youtube. Approaching midnight and have an early start tomorrow. So off to bed. Take it easy mate.
 
Cyc: Yes, Poor Old Dirt Farmer is a classic, superb.................

(also, Up On Cripple Creek....fabulous).
 
Good luck had just stung me
To the race track I did go
She bet on one horse to win
And I bet on another to show

The odds were in my favour
I had 'em five to one
When that nag to win came around the track
Sure enough we had won

Up on Cripple Creek, she sends me
If I spring a leak, she mends me
I don't have to speak, she defends me
A drunkard's dream if I ever did see one

I took up all of my winnings
And I gave my little Bessie half
And she tore it up and threw it in my face
Just for a laugh
 
Thanks Bustino, had quite forgotten the lyrics.........great piece of western rock music...........
