Emmylou Harris - Amarillo Lyrics
My baby never was the cheatin' kind
But it wasn't 'cause the ladies didn't try
Now everywhere we go
They're walkin' 'round him slow
Givin' him a flutter and a sigh
Lord I walked all over that black-eyed cajun queen
But outside of Amarillo, he found his thrill, I'll tell you
Oh, I lost him to a jukebox and a pinball machine
Oh Amarillo what'd you want my baby for
Oh Amarillo now he won't come home no more
You done played a trick on me
Hooked him in the first degree
While he put another quarter
Push Dolly and then Porter
If we only hadn't stopped in there for coffee
If someone hadn't played The Window Up Above
He'd still be mine today
But he heard those fiddles play
One look and then I knew this must be love
Oh that pinball machine was in the corner
Well he saw the lights and he had to hear 'em ring
And he never was the same after he won his first free game
Oh I lost him to a jukebox and a pinball machine
Oh Amarillo what'd you want my baby for
Oh Amarillo now he won't come home no more
You done played a trick on me
Hooked him in the first degree
While he put another quarter
Push Dolly and then Porter
While he racks up fifty thousand on the pinball machine
Oh Amarillo what'd you want my baby for
Oh Amarillo now he won't come home no more
You done played a trick on me
Hooked him in the first degree
While he put another quarter
Push Dolly and then Porter
While he racks up fifty thousand on the pinball machine

Emmylou Harris Amarillo Comments
She’s Lovely!
And James Burton on guitar....WOW!
So lovely! ❤️+Sam Spade :) Do you have some more videos of this concert? 💖
Unfortunately not. This isn't a concert its a tv appearance where she sang two songs. I don't recall seeing the other song she sang anywhere but if I do come across it I will let you know. The last newish video of her I saw was singing a Dylan song from 1970 on the Reeling in the years youtube channel. Worth a look if you can put up with the Logo on the screen.
Thank you very much! 💖
@Kristina Weber I came across the other song from the tv program. If you look for Emmylou Harris Together Again 1976 you should get it.
+Sam Spade :) I found it and it’s very beautiful!Thanks very much and greetings from Germany😍
Emmylou Harris was one of my Grandma's favorite singers! We used to listen her together! Awesome times God rest her soul!
She's dead?
She looks like a girl of this days in 2019...
She Sounds Better than the Mother Shit of these Days .
awesome !
Glad you enjoyed it.
fuck yea. emmy is a goddess
I wouldn't believe that Emmylou lost a man for any reason, ever
She didn't. She stated at the start that this song is not autobiographical and in no way did this happen to her.
Cool song it’s a new one on me but cool thumbs up x
