Well done, good version of one of the best songs of one of the best songwriters ever. I saw Townes van Zandt live around 1990, and when introducing this song he said (quoted from memory): "If anybody understands this song, I advise them to seek professional help." Be good everyone!
Hey mama, when you leave Don't leave a thing behind I don't want nothin' I can't use nothin' Take care into the hall And if you see my friends Tell them I'm fine Not using nothin' Almost burned out my eyes Threw my ears down to the floor I didn't see nothin' I didn't hear nothin' I stood there like a block of stone Knowin' all I had to know And nothin' more Man, that's nothin' As brothers our troubles are Locked in each others arms And you better pray They never find you Your back ain't strong enough For burdens doublefold They'd crush you down Down into nothin' Being born is going blind And buying down a thousand times To echoes strung On pure temptation Sorrow and solitude These are the precious things And the only words That are worth rememberin'
People need to quit simply googling and posting copy-pasted lyrics. What does buying down a thousand times even mean? The lyrics are, "BOWING DOWN a thousand times"... I also feel that he almost, "threw his years to the floor" He's talking to his mother in her latter years, and reconsidering his reckless drug use. Come on people!
My cousin introduced me to your channel a couple of days ago with this cover, knowing I'm a huge Townes fan, and I must say, you more than did it justice. I love the light tremolo on the guitar and your vocal style is beautiful. Great work, Cat. Please keep it up!
This is such a beautiful cover. Omg 😫❤👌 I just want to hug Cat Clyde. Shes so timeless, when you hear her sing it feels like youve known that voice for lifetimes.
Cat the voice of ten thousand angles and some! But so fuckn smooth and I am grateful to you all I have a lot of times is work and music and ur right up there in my top 5. And believe me I have a big variety.and thank u for the vid I needed some more good 🎶

I saw your thumbnail and didn't read the title and I remembered Van Zandt's place where Pancho and Lefty was shot. Then after I listened to that I saw your song was actually related to Van Zandt. Very nice cover!
Beautiful song Cat, and you have executed it perfectly with your amazingly emotional voice!!! Awesome as always and Thanks for sharing your amazing talents 👌💞👍
I've only ever heard Colter Wall's cover. I honestly did not know it was a cover until I saw your cover of this song. Wonderful job. Way to bring a unique sound to a classic song.

This is arguably Townes’ best song, and best-recorded song. Very tough to cover. Great job.
Few people do a Townes song justice. Finalllllly....
Colter wall
Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard
lost dog street band
Emmylou Harris, Pancho and Lefty.❤
Rowland S Howard
Still holds up as one of the best covers of all time.

Van Zandt was truly a masterful poet, excellent cover!
Nice picking and singing. You did Towns proud. Thanks for keeping his Music alive.
Thanks. Love me some townes. love me so cat clyde
Hey mama, when you leave
Don't leave a thing behind
I don't want nothin'
I can't use nothin'
Take care into the hall
And if you see my friends
Tell them I'm fine
Not using nothin'
Almost burned out my eyes
Threw my ears down to the floor
I didn't see nothin'
I didn't hear nothin'
I stood there like a block of stone
Knowin' all I had to know
And nothin' more
Man, that's nothin'
As brothers our troubles are
Locked in each others arms
And you better pray
They never find you
Your back ain't strong enough
For burdens doublefold
They'd crush you down
Down into nothin'
Being born is going blind
And buying down a thousand times
To echoes strung
On pure temptation
Sorrow and solitude
These are the precious things
And the only words
That are worth rememberin'
Thanks friend :)
