Description

Track 4 from the album “Duane & Greg Allman” released in 1972 copyright Bold Records. The album was released six months after Duane’s death in October, 1971. He died four days after their breakthrough live album “At Fillmore East” had achieved Gold status. This is a collection of early demos from 1968 recorded in Miami with Butch Truck’s folk-rock band “The 31st of February.” Duane and Gregg had their own band “Hourglass” at the time but were considering joining forces with Trucks’ band. The album features impressive covers, as well as the earliest recording of “Melissa” and Gregg’s tribute to Martin Luther King, “God Rest His Soul.” Gregg was destitute at the time and sold the rights to both those songs to producer Steve Alaimo for six hundred dollars. Recorded from the original vinyl. Written by Eddie Hinton & Marlon Greene and produced by Steve Alaimo. RIP Duane Allman, Butch Trucks & Gregory Lenoir Allman. Featuring:

Duane Allman – Lead & rhythm guitars

I left you cryin' at the D.C. station
Had a little spendin' change and Lord knows I had determination
If you want the good life, got to make it big
That's why I left you waiting so I could go out and dig in this big ol' world
But now I'm

Down in Texas, ain't got one thin dime
So lonely for ya baby, so stop wastin' my time
Come on down and get me, don't blame me 'cause I tried
Need your lovin' so bad, get on your train and ride

Climbin' up poor is hard as you can see
Pale like a half a man, girl, they work you like you're three
Here in the pallid city, I still feel alone
So take me pretty baby, take me back home
Cause I'm so tired, yeah
Now I'm

Down in Texas, ain't got one thin dime
I'm so lonely for ya baby, so stop wastin' my time
So come on down and get me, don't blame me 'cause I tried
I need your lovin' so bad, get on your train and ride

Alright
Down in Texas, ain't got one thin dime
I'm so lonely for ya baby, so stop wastin' my time
So come on down and get me, don't blame me 'cause I tried
Need your lovin' so bad, get on your train and ride

C'mon back where you belong
Yeah
