Special thanks to Jerry & Candace of Electric Shadow for providing their generous help & talents on this song. ES on lap steel and percussion, accented and supported my attempt to do justice to one of my favorite Hank Williams' songs....

No claims of being a performer. I just give it what little I've taught myself musically by songwriting. Recorded by mic, straight to computer as sound on sound.
Born at an early age, I was just a kid at the time....from there memory escapes me, until 2000 or 2001 when I decided to teach myself guitar. In order to teach myself guitar, I took to writing songs. From there, I added bass and occasionally, harmonica and a small touch of electric guitar. Not much of a performer, but I love to experiment writing songs. So, it's nine or ten years into it so far....and I've only scratched the surface with tons to learn. Maybe, you'll find something you like on the nearly three pages, I've loaded so far....Comments are welcome, I don't expect all comments to be favorable, but objectively constructive. I make no claims of being a performer....I just give it my best with what little that I've taught myself both musically and in songwriting. All songs are either written, played and sang by myself or my attempt at covering a song by my favorite artists.

My Sweet Love Aint Around Lyrics: Written and recorded by hank wiliams sr. c Listen to ---the rain a-fallin Cant you hear ---that lonesome sound c7 Oh, my f poor ---old heart is c breakin cause my sweet ---love g7 aint a-c round. Lord, I think ---I'll start to ramble Got to leave ---this weary town This old place ---is way too lonely cause my sweet ---love aint around. On that train ---tonight Im leavin And dont ask me ---where Im bound I cant stay ---here any longer cause my sweet ---love aint around. (two additional verses not on record) Mem-o-ries ---come back to haunt me My dream house ---has done fell down This old world ---is dark around me cause my sweet ---love aint around. Something tells ---me that Im losing cause these weary ---blues Ive found Oh, my bab- ---y left this morning Lord, my sweet ---love aint around.

Well Wade this is classic. Man I think you are about 40 years too late. With a name like Wade Farlowe and your lyric writing capability and your ability to put out a good folk tune. Well I think we would be seeing you mentioned in the same breath as zimmy.
