The Claymore Blues
Mid-tempo classic country blues, driving shuffle groove, brushed snare and upright bass, bright acoustic rhythm guitar, lonesome steel guitar phrases, expressive male baritone lead vocal with call-and-response harmonies, echoing auditorium ambience, punctuated train-whistle motifs and rolling train rhythm inspired by 1940s radio barn-dance performances

Lyrics
I'm just a lowly writer
Nothing can make me feel better
Then a story I have written down.
I don't require any one to know them
Don't need a crowd.
But nothing sounds better
than a pen being laid down.
I'll write you a country song
Or a novel not so long.
It's the real and cold Blues
The Lonsome Claymore Blues.
You'll feel that it's true
"The Claymore Blues."
As a train on his way back
I'll lay down these words like a track.
And you can come aboard with me.
You can tell my stories in a song
Or read them like a hard memory.
Sing my words and speak my facts,
Take in my heart and listen to me.
I'll write you a country song
Or a novel not so long.
It's the real and cold Blues
The Lonsome Claymore Blues.
You'll feel that it's true
"The Claymore Blues."
I'll write you a country song
Or a novel not so long.
It's the real and cold Blues
The Lonsome Claymore Blues.
You'll feel that it's true
"The Claymore Blues."
Nothing can make me feel better
Then a story I have written down.
I don't require any one to know them
Don't need a crowd.
But nothing sounds better
than a pen being laid down.
I'll write you a country song
Or a novel not so long.
It's the real and cold Blues
The Lonsome Claymore Blues.
You'll feel that it's true
"The Claymore Blues."
As a train on his way back
I'll lay down these words like a track.
And you can come aboard with me.
You can tell my stories in a song
Or read them like a hard memory.
Sing my words and speak my facts,
Take in my heart and listen to me.
I'll write you a country song
Or a novel not so long.
It's the real and cold Blues
The Lonsome Claymore Blues.
You'll feel that it's true
"The Claymore Blues."
I'll write you a country song
Or a novel not so long.
It's the real and cold Blues
The Lonsome Claymore Blues.
You'll feel that it's true
"The Claymore Blues."
