    RunningRattie I hope so. Heartbroken I can't see them at Haw River Ballroom. Never been, but I went to school half an hour north and it's a newer venue that I would love to see. $20... can you imagine?

  It sounds to me like "I guess I'll have to keep an eye on the little grey he took in." Since I don't know what "grey" would mean in that context, I'd offere "babe" or "stray" as other possibilities, but it really sounds and looks like she sings...  moreIt sounds to me like "I guess I'll have to keep an eye on the little grey he took in." Since I don't know what "grey" would mean in that context, I'd offere "babe" or "stray" as other possibilities, but it really sounds and looks like she sings "grey."
   
  I also think she sings "If I had known just an hour or so this is how it would go" and not "another song this is how it'll go."

  Also in this article, they talk about the work of roots blues musician Dock Boggs, whose work is featured in Harry Smith's "Anthology of American Music."  One of his best known songs is a piece called "Country Blues"(or "Hustling Gamblers").  The version of that song that I have on "Country Blues: Complete Early Recordings) was a 78 containing the lyrics:
   
  "Give me corn bread when I'm hungry, good people; Corn whiskey when I'm dry; Pretty women a-standing around me; Sweet heaven when I die."
   
  -Clearly referenced in "Tennessee"
   
   
  
  Somewhere in between "Country Blues" and "Tennessee" is Tex Ritter's "Rye Whiskey," the second verse of which begins:
   
  "It's beefsteak when I'm hungry
  Rye whiskey when I'm dry
  A greenback when I'm hard-up
  It's heaven when I die"
   
  The next verse continues with lines used in DRM's "Bubbles In The Bourbon:"
   
  "If the ocean was whiskey
  And I was a duck
  I'd dive to the bottom
  And never come up"  less

  I wasn't aware of The Band's version, but the Stanley Brothers recorded this song, too. I'm sure that Gillian and David are aware of both, and I'm sure you're right about this being the source for the lines from "Gamblin' Man," which is essentially a retelling of "Roving Gambler" (also recorded by the Stanleys) told from the female's perspective.

  Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings polish up their traveling boots | Features | Charleston City Paper

  When Gillian Welch released her last album with musical partner Dave Rawlings in 2011, she openly admitted that the eight-year gap since her previous collection (2003's Soul Journey) was due to a pronounced "slip" in their mutual songcraft.

  ianf They don't provide a full setlist unfortunately, but this seems to give a sense of the first show of the tour. Sounds like a few new/old numbers have been mixed into the Machine's repertoire.
