Hi all. Here is a new one. All comments invited. Not sure if Ive over done the delay on the vocals. Hope you like it. Rob Took My Love Took my love I took my love into to town. I took my love into to town. She spent my hard earned money on things not necessary. When I made a protest she seemed derog atory. Bucket loads of money and things Ive never seen. Even bought a washing board to wash my old blue jeans. I took my love down by the river side. I took my love down by the river side. She scared away the catfish mosquito's buzzing round. She shoved me in the water man I almost drowned. Complained about spiders and webs in all the trees. You know I couldn't stand it bought me to my knees. Took my love to the ocean blue. Took my love to the ocean blue. Complained about the sea birds gliding through the air. Cursed the coastal breezes for tangling up her hair. Said she her skin was peeling wanted to go home. If I had only known I took my love into to town. I took my love into to town. She spent my hard earned money on things not necessary. When I made a protest she seemed derog atory. Bucket loads of money and things Ive never seen. Even bought a washing board to wash my old blue jeans. ****** Song Summary ************* Title: I took my love into to town File:I took my love into to town.SGU Key=C , Tempo 130, Length (m:s)=2:31 2 bar intro, 76 bar chorus, from bar 3 to bar 78.

Fun tune!! Very clever and well done. RTs were jammin'!! Got a kick out of it. If I were you, I'd lighten up on the verb on this one. Very cool track!! Take care. Greg

Very nice Rob. Almost a traditional kind of sound somehow.
Love the lyrics. They certainly ring a bell with me.
And great job on the vocals and harmonies. Cheers

Along the bayous lined with Cypress trees, which have knees, large banana spiders spin giant webs. And of course there are catfish, and those bloodsuckers.

Nice job Rob. There are some well crafted lyrics here. Too much delay on the vocal. You have a good feel for this genre. Another great vocal. Tom

Very cool and as a long time bluegrass picker I know the purist will argue about the vocal effects...so be it. It's cool to hear something different. Great job! J&B

Hi Rob, What a great listen! Bluegrass is a personal favourite of mine and you did it justice! As others have noted, there are some truly inspired lines in these lyrics. I'm heading back to another run through. Regards, Noel

Rob,
Your songs are always so much fun to listen to and this one is no exception. Your songs are always so descriptive that it's easy to imagine the scenes. No one else has mentioned it but that is an outstanding ending. I don't know how you did it but it sounded like the mandolin and fiddle doubled each other.
