Seasick Steve - Gentle On My Mind Lyrics
It's knowin' that your door is always open
And your path's free to walk
That makes me tend to leave my sleepin' bag
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch
Some ink stains that have dried upon some lines
That keeps you on the backroads, by the rivers of my memories
Keeps you ever gentle on my mind
It's not clingin' to the rocks and ivy
Planted on the columns now that binds me
Or somethin' that somebody said
'Cause I thought we fit together walkin'
It's knowin' that your world will not be cursin' or forgivin'
It's you wavin' from the backroads by the rivers of my memory
Ever smilin', ever gentle on my mind
Although the wheat fields and the clotheslines
And the junkyards and the highways come between us
Some other woman cryin' to her mother
'Cause she turned and I was gone
I still run in silence, tears of joy might stain my face
And the summer sun might burn me till I'm blind
But not to where I cannot see you walkin' on the backroads
By the rivers flowin' gentle on my mind
I'd dip my cup of soup back from them gurglin'
Cracklin' cauldron in some trainyard
An' my beard roughenin' coal pile
Dirty hat pulled low cross my face
Through cupped hands and a round tin can
I pretend to hold you to my breast and find
That you're wavin' from the backroads, by the rivers of my memory
Ever smilin', ever gentle on my mind
That you're wavin' from the backroads, by the rivers of my memory
Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind
That you're wavin' from the backroads, by the rivers of my memory
For hours you're just gentle on my mind

Seasick Steve Gentle On My Mind Comments
this is your best song
Wonderful and real .
So many covers of this song come nowhere near the great Glen Campbell’s version, but this truly does. Absolutely fantastic rendition of this brilliant song. Steve’s voice just lets you drift away, let’s your troubles ease and your mind goes off. True music from a true musician 👍🏼👍🏼
Steve's the man!
Listened to a dozen of his tunes this afternoon and this my fav. Just stumbled onto him today.
Speechless
I keep coming back to this video - beautiful
Ohne Worte einfach WOW 👌👌👌
Beautiful..
I don't associate Country with Love Songs, but this is something else, just beautiful, perfect maybe. The last verse in particular, makes me think of someone, especially since my beard is roughening coal and I always wear a hat low and she is always smiling
Good job
This is absolutely beautiful!!!
Steve's almost as hot as those two hipster lesbians with the ukulele.
Simply beautiful cover, he recorded a similar version on the free CD you get with "Keeping' the horse between me and the ground". Also includes some other great acoustic covers and originals.
Amazing Luv it Seasick Steve!

Yearning...
Not bad, that's not a bad song either
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opIYuuWxiF4
A faint rustling along the walls, soft velvet knock
Your pace is easy, the step from the toe to the heel
And veiled with passion, the pupils, like a film of oil.
Curiosity and timidity languor and fear
Sweet swirls of the abyss and a groan on his lips -
So freeze dead before a showcase, exhibiting the corpse mine.
I'm a good dancer - touch the desire, I'll go out.
Please note - the dapper, handsome and fat,
Only slightly dimmed my coat, adorned with dust
Yes, in open skin ostalinoe bones glisten.
On the wall the hammer hit directly in the glass
And debris flow will collapse in pain and evil,
You will fall without twists-bright, but just believe me.
Shattered life crystal clear
Trizna in Gornja homeland soberly cut up fine linen
I'm before you and You before me - pussy, teeth omerta.
And the orchestra of the six Bogomolov hit the drums,
I'll squeeze your waist in thin bony hands.
The first dance is a quadrille, on the wide blades of the centaur,
Forty rabid PA above the abyss, whose brainchild is the darkness.
Who said: "Casanova does not know love" - he did not understand the question,
I've known crazy flying on the tail of a frayed cable.
Rusty rattle of winches and blocks-melody of delirium,
Casanova, bent orca, dives into the bow of the minuet.
Behind the clavicle it is an impetuous dance,
Do not look into the keyholes of the eyes,
There's dust and dried flies under the skull.
I have to hand in a three-ring will wrap around Your frame,
And then a courtly snap waltz
Castanets of yellow teeth near your delicate ear.
No way back-blocked and blown up the track,
And do not break out of hand - time is crooked, and hardly right
Sulphurous smoke was solubilise - slide on the chunks of charred meat
Along the crimson halls of The ruler of this Century.
That you flinched, baby-not Armageddon.
It's the fierce roar of the lusty French horn
In honor of one irretrievably dead, though young, person.
And do not try to pull the criss-cross hand:
You like the abyss - so tear after me,
There will be a ball in the lust of the bed of the cloying muffin.
A bowl of squirrel fat in the dark twinkle invitingly,
Candelabra of crazy, spicy, depraved love.
Step from the ledge, jerk to the asphalt, where the worm gets wet
The ashes of the decision to fight the bacchian pulse in the blood.
Who said - "Casanova charms only for the purpose of maneuver"?
I was involved in a spicy flight on the tail of a frayed nerve,
My pressure will crush the Himalayas and the proud Andes
The monotonous ferocity of black and evil Saraband.
Sanctus Deus, Sanctus fortis, Sanctus immortális, miserére nobis,
Miserére nobis.
Sanctus Deus, Sanctus fortis, Sanctus immortális, miserére,
Miserére nobis.
The crackling of torn cloth, a shameless haze
In naked Nirvana clashed body
The rustle of leathery wings - we lull the angels of the night.
Wild hops obuase and chilled look,
As the star of Edelweiss revealed inside,
How my spine vibrates in the splash of coitus.
Wheezing breath listen, ' t forget Pro steps on the road -
There came over you, only this time to is waiting.
You'll sit naked on broken black hearse
And the mad driver grins his cheering mouth.
Chilling and stingy will hit the Moon,
Shudder over the croup of the driver's back,
Scream on the road stones of the tread face.
Mitre in dim fog under the wings of a dream
Unravel the pentagram Netopyr and Zhanna
And twist on vandusen flaming nonsense scarlets.
But do not remember this in elastic intoxicating ecstasy,
Nurture the sweetness of the agonizing wet wave.
Stars fall to the side, lik Ameren and mammal-like,
Time is blown up by the beast and the roof of the back is cut.
Who said "Casanova calculating" - he lies clumsily,
I love recklessly, to grow into a first foreign to the body.
Midnight, hands within, soon heart of under fingers splashes,
I was captivated by the sensuality of a flight to shrapnel exploding life!
Again, the rustling along the walls soft velvet knock
Again the pace is easy, the step from the toe to the heel
And veiled with passion, the pupils, like a film of oil.
Curiosity and timidity, exhaustion and fear
Sweet swirls of the abyss and a groan on his lips.
Approach. You are attracted by the showcase, which exhibited the corpse mine...
The translation of the Latin part
Holy God, Holy mighty, Holy immortal, have mercy on us,
Have mercy on us.
Holy God, Holy mighty, Holy immortal, have mercy,
Have mercy on us.

Pure. Honest. Beautiful.

Merci 😊
That's so good!
ledgend.
All the flash lightening players should listen to this. Poor magic.
Every once in awhile someone special comes along.
Your the best seasick. If we ever cross paths, I will open my ears and listen to everything you have to teach. You inspire me to be a better.
sick steve

done (-;
Just lovely, even like the traffic passing, gives it atmosphere ... thank you Steve 🙋
our hearts are with you
Nice. Anybody know what kind of guitar he plays? Looks like a Martin 0-17 with a Gibson‘s neck.
jazzizm+ looks like some sort of Nick Lucas. Gibson made them from the late twenties through the late thirties. If you look at performances and photos of Bob Dylan in the early sixties he often played one. I believe the great Norman Blake switched to an old Nick Lucas years ago by now.... Tremendous guitars, articulate.
It's an early 1960s Guild M-20. All mahogany body. Very light build, great sounding guitar. It's well known for being on the cover of a Nick Drake album, but that one was built a little later because it didn't have the "open book" head stock like the earlier ones, as seen here and on my personal 63' M-20.
Best Found better!!
Interprétation magnifique. Merci Monsieur Seasick.
Wonderful
Very nice job young fella 👍
Is there any chance we could have tabs?
Well done, Steve. Nice custom back sling you got there.
Wow..nicely done!!
John will love this...
Cool man..............
...И свой мешок я спрятал за диван... cry
Too slow, but still good
Magnifique chanson, presque les larmes aux yeux...
Seasick Steve does a wonderful job of, in the act of his performance, thoroughly working the song over. Reminds me a little bit of Dave Van Ronk.
guitar line juuuust about to go Dust In The Wind when it turns and does Gentle On My Mind... =)
Somerset I was hoping someone else heard that.
Great!! God bless!!
Beautiful. Thanks Steve. Sad day but the music, as always will remain.

Damn, I just about tired enough for this to bring tears to my eyes.
Great job Steve !! --- fabulous piece of work
Beautiful song by a great voice! I love this!
John Hartford must be proud if he listen to this beautiful version, where ever he is ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
John gifted us with this most beautiful song, and this song probably originated from where he may be now.
I'd love to hear Glen Campbell's guitar playing with Steve's singing on this.
Good granny!
As soon as he said "ya ready" with that accent i knew it would be really good!
Well Done :D
feels good
awesome
