Signature No. 06

Valentine's

Cold Rain And Snow has been a popular folk song for well over 100 years. It's traditional with an unknown origin but some date it to North Carolina in the 1870's.  We thought a blues rock take on it would be fun!

He took me for his wife
You gave me trouble all my life
You left me out in the cold rain and snow
Rain and snow, rain and snow 
You left me out in the cold rain and snow

Now I’ve done all I can do
To try to get along with you
And I ain't gonna be treated this way
This a way, oh my Lord
I ain't gonna be treated this way

SOLO

I slowly climbed the stairs
Combin' back my long golden hair
And my cheeks were as red as a rose
As a rose, red as a rose
Yeah, my cheeks were as red as a rose

I followed him to the dark room
Where he would meet his doom
Cause  I ain't gonna be treated this-a way
This-a way, oh no
No more cold rain and snow

Cold Rain And Snow

ANARS ! Nuage d'inconnaissance

Hidden Soul

[Verse 1]
When you and I met for the first time
Oh how I tried so hard to catch your eye
I knew what we had was real
That’s still the way I feel

[CHORUS]
I guess it’s a good thing that I didn’t know
That we’d part ways somewhere down the road
Cuz I would have up and run
Never done the things we’ve done
So if you don’t mind I’m taking it slow, letting you go

[Verse 2]
I keep it all inside, say I’ll be alright
But time after time, I know I'm living a lie
Cuz' that ain't the way I feel.
This broken heart is real

[CHORUS]
I guess it’s a good thing that I didn’t know
That we’d part ways somewhere down the road
Cuz I would have up and run
Never done the things we’ve done
So if you don’t mind I’m taking it slow, letting you go

[Solo]
[Bridge]
I knew what we had was real
Dammit that’s how I feel

[CHORUS]
I guess it’s a good thing that I didn’t know
That we’d part ways somewhere down the road
Cuz I would have up and run
Never done the things we’ve done
So if you don’t mind I’m taking it slow
If you don’t mind I’m taking it slow, letting you go
letting you go

Letting you Go (New Version)
