"Alone and Forsaken" written and performed originally by Hank, Sr but it's been covered numerous times. Try this one, "I can't hold you close, Darling when you're not near me, You're somebody's love. You'll never be mine." ***That's NOT the opening lyrics since it starts with the chorus and that would be a dead giveaway.*** Hint: country song by a country legend but it's been covered numerous times as well.

I stayed in a motel on the edge of Nashville a few years after Townes died, and took the page from the phone book that listed Van Zandt T It's among my treasures. I'll have to label it, so the kids know what it is. Or donate it to KPFT radio for a fund raiser. He was a regular performer in their back yard. Afterwards, they used to hold a wake for him on 12/31 or 1/1 down at the Old Quarter bar in Galveston. Townes was ......well, he was Townes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
