lyrics

HUTCH JACK FLATS RAG

I set out for Hutch Jack Flats to be alone in peace
It had been twenty-one years since the first time I could leave
From anywhere that gave me life or slowly killed me quietly
And still I heard the urgent voices although no one followed me
They begged drive on, drive on
I rounded a hilltop and started down the other side
My mortality began to doubt the view that struck my eyes
Twenty men all tied together digging twenty graves on the roadside
And each man called beyond his chains without compromise
Carry on, carry on
Now passed the brooks and creeks and streams and rivers I did go
Each one flowing madly into something I'd never know
I contemplated ever-afters as my stride began to slow
And when I reached the Hutch Jack Flats I heard a song I did not know
Singing hold on, hold on
Everywhere was here and there no matter where I went
The wind blew bones across the road but my ghosts were already dead
And suddenly I longed for all the places I'd already been
And for the people and the things that I ignored when they all said
Hey boy slow down, slow down

about

Graham Lindsey image

Graham Lindsey montana

Known for the dark, raw, stripped-down approach he takes to American roots and folk, Graham Lindsey's music has been said to fall somewhere in the middle of Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, and 'if Gillian Welch had a male counterpart,' while following in the traditions of Woody Guthrie and Leadbelly. But, it does so with plenty of his own punk rock sensibilities in tact.
