    my name is Niels and I have been a Welch fan for several years now. My musical tastes are rather diverse. It goes from Velvet Underground to Renaissance polyphonic singing. Last year I met an old aquaintance who was in the process of forming a Gillian Welch tribute band. I have played the guitar longer than I care to remember but was never in a band. So I joined. It is a blast, I really love it. It is especially the singing, the harmonies, that make it so sweet and rewarding. Athough these days we have some songs by other artists in our repertoire, the Welch songs still stand out (as far as i am concerned )


     


    Thanks to the people who set up this site.

    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 "grey."

    ... we have decided to go with 'stray'. Even if that is not what I hear it fits nicely and adds some depth to the drama - her soon-to-be-ex-honey apparently has a good heart ...

    thank you ianf!

    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."

    thanks ianf! those both make sense to me. 'He took in' fits the storyline. This is getting close - not knowing who or what 'grey' is doesn't break the story. Still, ideas welcome!

    And 'an hour ago' certainly makes more sense than 'another song'.

     

    So this is what what will be singing:

    This is how it would go
    Oooh-oooh-oooh

    to elaborate a bit... we do this song with our band - to fill in the gap, our singer thought of 'keep an eye on the little grey canvas tent' so as not to sleep out in the cold wind.

    Maybe it is about a horse? or a dog? she hates for it to sleep out in the cold wind.

    But what is the word she is singing? heetokee or something???
