nuthin' like a good ol' fashioned murder ballad, eh?!
acoustic florida lucinda williams southern storytelling honest homegrown open truthful vulnerable life experience revealing approachable
homegrown music...all natural, no fillers, no artificial colors.
....so nice of y'all to drop by! I'm a little southern lady who grew up during the glorious sunshiny 70's in a small beach town in N. Florida. An awesome time to begin to figure life out...catching the tail-end of the "age of aquarius" and gettin' to enjoy the freedoms that bunch won for us before the angst of the 80's and 90's set in. Try bein' a teenager today!!! Ha! I learned to play guitar by picking one up and flippin' open a CSN&Y songbook to "Helpless". Well, nobody told me I was playin' the thing up-side-down! I'm a lefty, ya know...held it like it felt right to me. Still play that way to this day. Took up the banjo and the ukulele and turned them up-side-down too. I wrote my first song at the age of 45 and now I've got a whole batch of 'em. I don't ever set out to write any particular song...just get a phrase that sticks and pretty soon the rest of it comes. Really, I don't write them at all...God just down-loads 'em into my brain and I jot them down and then sing and play them. To Him be the honor and the glory! So there you have it...or at least this part of it. I'd talk yer ears nearly clean offa yer hear if you'd indulge me. Thanks again for stoppin' by...next time I'll make a cake and brew some coffee. yerz, Ellen https://ellenmoseley.bandcamp.com

Lyrics
Don’t You Go I . The day was hot, that old sun beatin’ down I was running errands for my Ma comin’ back from the grocery toting a big ol’ sack in each arm he pulled up beside me as I walked down the road “say can I help you with your heavy load?” he looked a little shady, truth be told but I stepped in for a ride CHORUS: oh, don’t you go go off with somebody you don’t know II. I says to him, “you’re not from here” “no, I’m just passing through, my dear” “you sure are pretty, that much is clear” ‘twas then I smelled the whiskey on his breath “my Ma’s expecting her groceries soon you can let me off up ahead” “no, I don’t think so, pretty girl…. you and me gonna have a lil’ fun instead” CHORUS III. that milk did shake and those eggs did crack when he threw me down upon my back and commenced the brutal attack that would take my tender life CHORUS IV. so all you girls you best beware them tales about a stranger are true look behind the smile and you’ll see a stare that reveals what he’d like to do to you CHORUS x 2
