about

Written at the edge of the Boundary Waters of northern MInnesota, about to move to Iowa to join friends Lars and Jay in the Blue Earth Band in Iowa City. (Orr, MN—1983)

lyrics

Out on the river the wild rice is high,
But I'm not one to pick it, I'll just float right on by.
Now all the dogs are howlin' at the moon.
I think that I'll be headin' south real soon.

North Minnesota has surely got its charms;
But at harvest time I miss them golden Iowa farms.
I guess I just got travelin' in my shoes.
Mmm I think I'll head down south, and make some news.

Look out below, here I come, I'm fallin' like a tree;
Ready or not, here I come, with my banjo on my knee.

All my friends have scattered on a sudden breeze;
Some are in the Cities, some out west and some out east.
And me I'm just a feather in the air.
Oh, I'm movin' with the wind most anywhere.

Look out below, here I come, I'm fallin' like a tree;
Ready or not, here I come, with my banjo on my knee.

Look out below, here I come, I'm fallin' like a tree;
Ready or not, here I come, with my banjo on my knee.

about

Tim Gustafson Moline, Illinois

I have been writing and playing Americana--sometimes bluesy, sometimes rockish, sometimes jazz-inflected folk--since before it was called "Americana." I don't know where songs come from, or how or why they emerge. But here they are. I hope you enjoy them. ... more
