- Break and typical verse accom. Unusually, Townes seems to use the thumb to play the 3rd(G) string in the triads... Lots of other shades and subtleties...but this is a rough version.

- LYRICSHey mama, when you leave
- don't leave a thing behindI don't want nothin'I can't use nothin'
- Take care into the halland if you see my friends
- tell them I'm finenot using nothin'
- Almost burned out my eyesthrew my ears down to the floorI didn't see nothin'
- I didn't hear nothin'I stood there like a block a stone
- knowin' all I had to knowand nothin' moreman, that's nothin'
- As brothers our troubles arelocked in each others arms
- and you better praythey never find you
- Your back ain't strong enoughfor burdens doublefoldthey'd crush you down
- down into nothin'Being born is going blind
- and buying down a thousand timesto echoes strungon pure temptation
- Sorrow and solitudethese are the precious things
- and the wordsthat are worth rememberin'
- Hey mama, when you leavedon't leave a thing behindI don't want nothin'
- I can't use nothin'
- PLAY TOO ..
