Townes Van Zandt(1944-1997) was a singer-songwriter, born in Texasto a life on the road. Van Zandt was master of the small, intimate folkperformance, such as the July 1973 show that became Live At The Old Quarter Houston, Texas, the double album on Tomato Records. As the Austin Chroniclewrites of the re-released CD, "Alone with a guitar, he hushes the crowd with his visionary tunes that are by turns haunting and eccentric, yet filled with beauty and dark shadows." Despite chronic battles with alcoholism and depression, his songwriting displayed a sense of humour and introspection, truth and beauty. Many artists cite Townes' influence on their music, with covers of his songs recorded by the likes of Emmylou Harris, Lyle Lovett, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Guy Clark, Steve Earle, Jeffrey Foucault, Cowboy Junkies, The Be Good Tanyasand others. His son John T.

Townes Van Zandt
By townes van zandt
Well, little darling she aint mean me no harm
You know, she loved me all night long
Now shes gone, gone
Well, little darling in a dress so red
Now shes gone, man
Im stuck in chicago, illinois
Let me tell you, boys
Shes gone, gone
I do believe she gone a mobil deal
I do believe she made a fool of me
Shes gone now
Little darling, wont you stay friend
I want to do them things again
Ah, gone, gone
You know, she loved me all night long
You know, she didnt mean me no wrong
Now shes gone, gone
