From the recording Where The Myrtle Doth Entwine
An ode to outlaw, Billy The Kid, this tune blends Americana Country roots with traditional Mexican music. With a crescendoing trumpet lead, hillbilly banjo, Neil Young-like harmonica, soulful dusty vocals, a host of guest harmonies, abundant bass fills, folk-rock rhythms & tambourine that rings like cowboy spurs on a horse, it’s an epic finale to the album WHERE THE MYRTLE DOTH ENTWINE.
Horns by Hector “Max” Cruz. Backup vocals by Danielle Cornell, Tommy Cornell, Mike Wilson, Adam Heller, Hector “Max” Cruz & Freddy Avalos “FEx777”.
Lyrics
When you're ramblin' out there,
My dear, don't fear.
If there's a rattle in the rocks,
I'll be your dog.
I will be your dog.
I will be your dog.
I will be your dog.
I will be your dog.
The sun glows red on the horizon,
But not for long.
The desert, an abode of the abandoned...
I'll be your dog.
I will be your dog.
I will be your dog.
I will be your dog.
I will be your dog.
Where the myrtle doth entwine,
Darkness abides.
You need not ever feel alone.
I'll be your dog.
I will be your dog.
I will be your dog.
I will be your dog.
I will be your dog.
I will be your dog.
I will be your dog.
I will be your dog.
I will be your dog.
