Townes Van Zandt - Greensboro Woman Lyrics
Greensboro woman don't you smile on me
I do not feel like being comforted
And anyway I'll be home soon
For once is someone waitin' there
And if you don't mind
Your face, she's a picture, babe
Pictures ain't what I crave
I don't feel this way most generally
I just put a thousand miles 'tween me
And where my thoughts do lie
And I thank you kindly baby to kindly let me be
Your car, she's smooth and fast
Babe, your bourbon's fine
Texas loving laying on my mind
I couldn't do you right babe spinnin' round this way
Greensboro woman don't you smile on me
I do not feel like being comforted
And anyway I'll be home soon
For once is someone waitin' there
And if you don't mind
I just think on her instead

Emmy Lou Harris went to UNC-G for a semester. Maybe? Great song.
I wonder if he was writing about Greensboro NC? There are 7 other Greensboro's in the following states:Alabama Florida Georgia Indiana Maryland Pennsylvania Vermont. Greensboro NC is 1200 miles from Austin Tx and he mentions being 1000 miles away from his Texas lady, we may never know...
He wrote it about a friend of mine , a great songwriter in her own right.Yes Greensboro NC
john price who do you think he was referring to? Would gladly hear some good music, especially from a fellow North Carolinian
john price Greensboro born and raised. Do you have any more details?
Thanks for sharing this.
Awesome stuff. Our group's lead singer is largely influenced by this stuff. Check it out if you get a chance. Cheers!
I tried listening to several of the group's songs. Not sure why there's a feeling of a need to yell. Blues works with normal loudness. It's the words more than the loudness. Just an observation.
colorado girl or greensboro woman??
Gotta love this guy...such a talent!
poetry...pure genius
'I'd thank you kindly, babe, if you'd kindly let me be'
Thanks for this one ... beautiful ... can never get enough of Townes.
Your face is a picture, babe, but pictures ain't what I crave...
great song
