Guy Clark - Magnolia Wind Lyrics

It's once in a lifetime, and it won't come again...16 months ago I lost my beautiful wife of 42 years to leaukemia. Pretty much sums up how I feel...

Yea, wife walked out 2 yrs ago. After 29 yrs. I'm not terribly in no hurry to meet my next hearrbreak. And, songs like this help me remember. The last heartbreak was worth it.

This is timeless art...

Stunning God bless Boyo

Why so many legendary singer/songwriters from Texas? I love all.

I've tried to study Texas songwriters for 20 yrs now. I realized a long time ago. That I'll die just scratching the surface. It's amazing.

Wonderful writing by one of Texas's best.

One of the all time great songs.

Just saw a show with Shawn and Verlon in Rockport. Beautiful

the thursday or friday show?

Amazing, Vlad!

What album is this version on and who played on it

the album is "the dark".... don't have my copy near or i could tell you who is on it

Absolutely love this song. Danced with an amazing man to this. Sure do miss him. ♥

Love love love that mandolin great song, well done,  love Shawn singing it as well.

Pretty.

Guy speaks what I cannot find but hold true.

I got to play fiddle in The Quaalude County Country Band out of Bellingham Washington. We played this song, I got introduced to Guy's music, my heart sings with him ebber since. Oh, the motto of the band was "slow down the hoedown". One of the great times in my life. Shout out to Ben, Spencer, Farah and Kevin.

Best band name of the day!

Roer 714

Best love song ever written.

It’ s awesome how these guys and gals can take these old tired, overused words and turn them into poetry full of imagery and beauty...Prine, Clark, Van Zandt, et al.

Wonderful.

Real country

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL~~R.I.P. MR. CLARK

just a masterpiece.

A bit of my soul died when he did, its not the same world.

This may be a stupid question..but is it Guy and Sussanna on the cover of the tribute album ?Thanks.

InverseAgonist yes it is--and he apparently drove that VW bus for a long lo g time.

Yes it is.

He probably was thinking about Susanna with this song, but it is one of four songs he a d Shawn Camp wrote about the Sis Draper character-the fiddler. Thus the "Sis pack up your fiddle and bow" lyrics fit. Revardless, it is just a beautiful love song.

Thanks, man...

Love Guy Clark songs!

Gone but not forgotten here in Dublin Ireland
GUY and Shawn Camp wrote this incredible song....
If I can't catch your scent on the magnolia wind.....
Shades of Gram parson's in here

Yeh, I also thot of Hickory Wind.

Miss you, man.

What a great song, one of the best I’ve ever heard. I just discovered it.  I’m 46 and have been listening to old country and bluegrass most of my life, I don’t know how I ever missed this song.

I have the same reaction. My darling wife died recently, and I paid attention to this song for the first time. What an amazing piece of art! It captures how I feel!

And then there's "My Favorite Picture of You". The night he died, I read the story behind the song, listened to it, and couldn't stop crying for waaaaay longer than I wanted. Thinking of my little brother & me listening to "Old No. 1" when it came out in '75, all the beauty in that LP, all the miles under his wheels, and mine, since then. Let him roll.......

great touching song !! thank you guy 1

What a precious gift, what a lyricist, what lasting melodies, what a life, what a love, two people one soul, and the great ones that passed through their door, and filtered their art through their experiences together. To many to mention. The magic of their scent will forever be floating on the Magnolia Wind. Guy and Suzanna, together forever....Stuff That Works.

JOHN ROWAN, A BEAUTIFUL EULOGY FOR ONE OF MY FAVORITE AND EXTREMELY TALENTED SONG WRITER AND GUITAR MAKERS!

In a word.....beautiful!
