Fleetwood Mac - Merry Go Round Lyrics

When I first met you baby, I didn't even know your name
Yes, when I first met you babe, I didn't even know your name
I was feeling so low on the ground
Bad luck and evil women was to blame

I never realized just how sweet and kind one woman can be
Yes, I never realized, people, just how sweet and kind one woman can be
Yes, but when I looked in your eyes
Yeah, I knew true love had come to me
Yeah

[break]

Take my hand, baby, now, you hold it tight and don't let go
Take my hand, now, hold it tight and don't let go
Yes, 'cause our love is like a merry go round
And 'round forever it's gonna go

I'm here because of motley crue

Wonderful playing/vocal..a lesson on how to 'fill' with only three musicians..

this is the 1st white boy blues album I brought...………...in 1969

His patience on delivering breathtaking blues licks are incredible. Most musician's fill up all that space but he lets the listener focus their attention back and forth following the vocals, drums and bass.

Don't mind me...I'm just Searching for Madge....!

Middle Earth club, Covent Garden 1968............then slept in a doorway in New Bond street afterwards.

The blues-lp I grow up with...made myself a brass-slide and started practising slide at 12 years old

This is closer to real blues than anything I have heard from Britain.

Peter Green the best blues,ever

nobody else even close

Oh yes!

Great stuff..always seems to end too soon..so laid back it seems Mick Fleetwood is about to fall over saved only by the walking bass of McVie..bought this album around the time it was released just after the Beano EC album and thought these are exciting times which they were, and due to the musicianship, still are..

The tone gets you every listen..Green knew the power of space between phrases too..he had all the great touches and feel of the great bluesmen..he had it in his fingers and his soul.

One of the best blues albums ever made! Peter Green was God of the blues!

When I was 16 this was the album that saw me down checken' out the latest music at festival in Sydney 1969..
Blew me away........ still does.!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, you´re right, it´s still one of the beat made album in blues-rock..

this the answer to the k-rock kfx?

Love this song.

Darius Mallon, I think you'll find that it was Bob Brunning who played bass on this recording, rather than John McVie, who had not yet committed to the band. But I am open to correction!

As far as the record itself says, Brunning only plays Bass on Long Grey Mare. All other tracks with Bass are credited to McVie

I think that may be incorrect....... Bob Brunning played bass on 'Long Grey Mare'... but that was it .. All the same .. fucking excellent........

the perfect blues guitarist

Peter, John & Mick nailed this on November 22, 1967.

Really digging the vibes of these tunes!

if you dont FEEL something with this performance you are....dead inside

The feel of sound and the economy of space between notes are just so telling....the flow of a great blues player...that unique sound...Tones and vibrato are like fingerprints...Peter Green had that great touch,,and the abilty to let a note flow..or cut it off to great effect...the solo is a masterclass...he was just timeless in those days.

Tone, delivery,soul,emotion.

Mate you are sooo spot on. No explanation required when your talkin' bout a genius.I've been captiviated by this blok for 50 years.... no fucking bullshit...

Forget Jesus - here is something real...........

exactly

I hear what you are saying .. Between the 2 Vaughan Brothers Stevie has been deified but I always preferred Jimmy's Classic blues riffs , he got more out less and he had so much sustain.. My friends call me crazy but Jimmy and Anson Funderburg play plenty it is just that less is more for them..

Is er een tab versie op het net?

no but I can make one for you

Beste Jeroen , er is een site "" ultimate guitar tabs"" daar staat het op .

I'm probably late in saying this, but there's a really good tab of this song, together with a backing track and discussion of PG's style, in the book "In Session with Peter Green" ISBN 1-859-09-645X

nice :)

The live versions are great BUT this is the definitive version of this song and ranks with any blues tune ever recorded including Johnson, Freddie or BB King, or EC. 
In the sixties nobody played better and few have come close since.
He's simply the best.

50 years for me..... pure genius...Beethoven of Blues.........

And, of course, he wrote it too. How many white guitarists from the 60's wrote their own blues songs. Not many!

I'm loving this stuff I'm stuck on Billy gibbons though!

LIKE！！！m(_ _)m！

Sounds like billy gibbons vocals

Wrong way 'round mate!!!!!!!

Well said...

That’s why the slow bluesy average song playing is....meh...ZZ TOP’s best songs are off Eliminator and Fleetwood is Rumors. Write songs people can get into. These riffs are the sleepy and boring sounds of an average blues band.

peter green gets you all the time

Yes probably.

I saw them three times in the '60's....best British blues band ever!!!

Justin Beiber fans.

Such a sexy song! <3 love it!

Sexy!..interesting interpretation..

A.R.H. I concur

2 people have clicked dislike!!! Er...why?

they got no taste.

How can you not like this song????? Must be two envious people who just cant appreciate a masterpiece! This is Peter Green at his best, just wonderful! I miss the blues band Fleetwood Mac!

And...what a singer!!!!!

I could listen to him all day and still beg for more, singing or instrumentals

2 dislikes are Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page.

Jimmy page was a big fan of peter green

hot dam this is music

Somebody could tell you a person's name before you go introduce yourself and 'meet them'. I know all the names of Led Zeppelin, but never met any of them :-)

@strangeones4 nope.

I love this song. Peter Green is awesome. Hes like a mini Clapton. haha. I love it.

1251alexRR Clapton who ???

Clapton not in the same ballpark, Green vastly superior

@evelyn johnson green wouldn't agree with that one bit, Clapton just peaked in his early twenties, his work on disreali gears is nothing short of a masterpiece.
