Liner Notes
It's trying to be real cool
and soft
So I won't take the chance
and turn you off. . .
And not to get to know you,
just because of love,
That makes me come on slowly
In an underground railroad
station, just out of the rain
So much depends on the six
o'clock train and a girl. . .
with green eyes

We can boogie over here,
We can boogie over there,
Come on babe,
We can boogie everywhere
Direction: Keith Case
Stone County, Denver, Colo.
I used Doc Cullis' Low Banjo again and a Gibson I borrowed from George Gruhn after the airline broke mine on the way to the session.
All of these songs are original
except for "In Sara's Eyes" and "Don't Try and Hide Your Tears From Me"
co-written with Marie Barrett, and the
melody of "Cuckoo's Nest"
which I heard first from Charlie Collins. These songs were all published
by John Hartford Music, BMI, except for
"Gentle On My Mind", "Boogie",
& "The Six O'Clock Train and a Girl With Green Eyes" which were published
by Ensign Music, BMI.
It isn't that I wouldn't want
to make it all come true
Baby if I had the chance to
be alone with you
It's watchin' how you operate,
when the chips are down,
That makes me come on slowly.
Nashville, Tennessee
Summer, 1977
