Singer-songwriter, arranger and producer: acoustic contemporary folk but ranging into rock/blues/country/jazz/humour...all very eclectic, I'm afraid!

Martin Stirrup Singer/songwriter An old folkie who got back into it... These days I sing and play guitar(s) and other stringed instruments, then score and orchestrate where appropriate. My taste becomes increasingly eclectic ranging from finger-picked folk through country to soft rock mixed in with a few more alternative and eccentric numbers, including the odd novelty foxtrot...

Story behind the song

I seem to have written an Appalachian style murder ballad...

Lyrics

Chorus D G D
 I don’t mind the stranger knocking at my door
 A Em G A
 like I don’t mind the ranger, telling me the law
 D G Bm
 I’m past the time for anger and I’m not one to implore
 D A Bm G Em A D
 I lost my shirt, but it don’t hurt the way it did before


A Em G A 
 If things started with a whisper , as folks sometimes say
 Bm D A
 Then I would surely miss her, if she went away
 Bm D A
 But she came like a mighty storm with trouble in her wake
 D G Bm A
 And what she did, she never hid, she did for her own sake

Some folks like to play it safe, some folks try their luck
 Some folks on the bit do chaff, their fortunes for to pluck
 She had no ambivalence, no waver to her quest
 She came in fast it couldn’t last and you all know the rest…


If you’re looking for a moral, or looking for a cause
 With me you have no quarrel, you’re logic has no flaws
 You who stand before me and chain me by the wrist
 Not you nor me can ever see the way the fates will twist

Final:
 D A Bm G Em F#m
 I lost my shirt, but it don’t hurt the way it did before
 D A Bm G Em ……A D
 I lost my shirt, but it don’t hurt……..the way it did before
