lyrics
I'll forget you very well
I'll forget you very well
the butcher the baker the candlestick maker
‘tis the tail no tongue will tell
I'll forget you very well
I'll forget you very well
hey diddle diddle, your cat on my fiddle
your cow can jump over my moon
walking through the woods one day
I found myself alone
a wise man said “no direction home"
all who wander are not lost
but sometimes there's a little cost
sorry love, | gotta say shalom
I'll forget u very well
I'll forget u very well
the downtrodden lass, the intern kissing ass
Each with their tale to tell
waking down a city street
I saw her standing there
that's a Beatles song... Yes, It Is
winning love was so much fun
but seems you found another one
Love which was mine, is now his
I'll forget you very well
I'll forget you very well
when I'm drinking, I'm thinking
why I am I sinking?
no wonder some call love Hell
I'll forget you very well
I'll forget you very well
for better or worse, like the last verse
I'll forget you very well
for better or worse, just like the last verse
I'll forget you very well
I'll forget you very well
the butcher the baker the candlestick maker
‘tis the tail no tongue will tell
I'll forget you very well
I'll forget you very well
hey diddle diddle, your cat on my fiddle
your cow can jump over my moon
walking through the woods one day
I found myself alone
a wise man said “no direction home"
all who wander are not lost
but sometimes there's a little cost
sorry love, | gotta say shalom
I'll forget u very well
I'll forget u very well
the downtrodden lass, the intern kissing ass
Each with their tale to tell
waking down a city street
I saw her standing there
that's a Beatles song... Yes, It Is
winning love was so much fun
but seems you found another one
Love which was mine, is now his
I'll forget you very well
I'll forget you very well
when I'm drinking, I'm thinking
why I am I sinking?
no wonder some call love Hell
I'll forget you very well
I'll forget you very well
for better or worse, like the last verse
I'll forget you very well
for better or worse, just like the last verse
I'll forget you very well

Sid Griffin London, UK
Yep, I'm the guy from the Americana founders the Long Ryders in 1980s L.A. & the guy in the first ever alt-bluegrass act, the Coal Porters, recently out of London. You bet make solo albums & perform singer-songwriter gigs, I’ve toured solo from London to Los Angeles to Sydney to Hong Kong to Helsinki too. Million Dollar Bash is my well-received book on The Basement Tapes and I've never met Dylan. ... more

This is equally gorgeous and rocking - just a wonderful set of songs and great performances and arrangements (and the guitar solos are perfect). As one who was only familiar with the Long Ryders music, coming across this is ear-opening...akin to hearing Gene Clark solo stuff at the first time and marveling how it equaled/bested the Byrds.
