Two days past eighteen He was waiting for the bus in his army green Sat down in a booth in a cafe there Gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair He's a little shy so she gives him a smile And he said, "Would you mind sittin' down for a while And talking to me? I'm feeling a little low." She said, "I'm off in an hour and I know where we can go." So they went down and they sat on the pier He said I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care I got no one to send a letter to Would you mind if I sent one back here to you [Chorus:] I cried Never gonna hold the hand of another guy Too young for him they told her Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier Our love will never end Waitin' for the soldier to come back again Never more to be alone when the letter said A soldier's coming home So the letters came from an army camp In California then Vietnam And he told her of his heart It might be love and all of the things he was so scared of He said, "When it's getting kinda rough over here, I think of that day sittin' down at the pier. And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile. Don't worry but I won't be able to write for awhile." [Chorus] One Friday night at a football game The Lord's Prayer said and the Anthem sang A man said, "Folks would you bow your heads For a list of local Vietnam dead." Crying all alone under the stands Was a piccolo player in the marching band And one name read but nobody really cared But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair
Very beautifully performed, I hasten to add. No question about it, Demi Combs, you have got it nailed down, and you've got it nailed down tight. Beautiful singer with a very beautiful voice.
Thank you Demi Combs, you are much too kind. I myself once was a soldier and I can certainly identify with this beautiful song very much indeed. I can also tell you that I have experienced, something like a strange loneliness, as I imagine would be felt by any human being who follows a rifle for a living. There are soldiers that I have known who would not own up to this fact, but if they were to speak the truth, I am quite sure that my findings would be 100% correct. But that is their loss and I am happy to have done so and I have dealt with any negative feelings I may have had, so I can live in the real world again, once more. Demi, I really enjoy listening to you sing, particularly when you sing this song, as you have a really pleasant voice which is very pleasing to ones ear and I know we will all be hearing much, much more about you in the not too distant future, even over here in Ireland. And, if you ever decide to embark on a singing career, I know you can make it right up there to the very top with the best of them, with people like Patsy Cline R.I.P., Iris DeMent and a whole host of other great American female singers. What I would really be interested in finding out is, who is the author of this amazingly beautiful song, "Travellin' Soldier?"
Wow, you look great and sing even better. I enjoyed it. Nice song and beautifully sung. Wonderful, I can't sing a note, I envy you. Thank you, I loved it.
Demi Combs no problem, you seriously deserve more subscribers. Like if it was possible I’d subscribe as many times as it takes for you to get to 100,000 or more.
This sounds so much better without the "warble" typical of so many female county vocalists. Likewise with acoustic guitar although I was surprised the Dixie Chicks version used a dobro instead of a steel guitar. That would have been truly hideous. Thanks for posting your cover.
Demi Combs thanx for the sub and I subbed to u btw! You deserve it, your voice reminds of my sister! She loves to sing but I don't see her much cuz she's 200 miles away.
Jessica Davis I honestly just wing it every time I learn a song and just stick with whatever strumming pattern I like whether it's right or not. Just whatever sounds right to me, is what I use. You should try that as well 😊
You can sing. You are talented and can feel what you are singing. While performing, you can hit a nerve. Some more fine tuning and you will be the next Natalie Maines.
Girl ... You take me back 9 years ♡
Old time was the best ...
Thanks
Excellent job Demi. Very, very nice. Keep supporting the Chicks.
Two days past eighteen
He was waiting for the bus in his army green
Sat down in a booth in a cafe there
Gave his order to a girl with a bow in her hair
He's a little shy so she gives him a smile
And he said, "Would you mind sittin' down for a while
And talking to me?
I'm feeling a little low."
She said, "I'm off in an hour and I know where we can go."
So they went down and they sat on the pier
He said I bet you got a boyfriend but I don't care
I got no one to send a letter to
Would you mind if I sent one back here to you
[Chorus:]
I cried
Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
Too young for him they told her
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
Our love will never end
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
Never more to be alone when the letter said
A soldier's coming home
So the letters came from an army camp
In California then Vietnam
And he told her of his heart
It might be love and all of the things he was so scared of
He said, "When it's getting kinda rough over here,
I think of that day sittin' down at the pier.
And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile.
Don't worry but I won't be able to write for awhile."
[Chorus]
One Friday night at a football game
The Lord's Prayer said and the Anthem sang
A man said, "Folks would you bow your heads
For a list of local Vietnam dead."
Crying all alone under the stands
Was a piccolo player in the marching band
And one name read but nobody really cared
But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair
Awesome voice! Brings tears to my eyes every time. Lost to many brother...
Very beautifully performed, I hasten to add.
No question about it, Demi Combs, you have got it nailed down, and you've got it nailed down tight.
Beautiful singer with a very beautiful voice.
Sean Taniane thank you so much!
