Allman Brothers Band, The - Please Be With Me Lyrics

Lol who are the 45 Tokyo's who don't like this? LOL AT YOU

This song, those vocals, that slide...Wow. Hittin' the note(s)...

was driving a rented 4x4 in the snow, with the late great Johnny Sandlin, a little nervous riding shotgun, he wanted me to meet the late great Scott Boyer of "Cowboy," who wrote this song in some old in Sheffield, Alabama, and I almost drove that damn blazer into Scott's house in Florence, AL!

WOW! Incredible.

Who the hell gives this a thumbs down? SERIOUSLY?

It was a friend's comment on Eric Clapton's version of this track that brought me here - both great music! Love the dobro playing.

Oh my word, what does it mean?
Is it love or is it me
That makes me change so suddenly?
Looking out, to feeling free.

I sit here lying in my bed,
Wondering what it was I'd said
That made me think I'd lost my head,
When I knew I lost my heart instead.

So won't you please read my signs, be a gypsy.
Tell me what I hope to find deep within me.
Because you can find my mind, please be with me.

Of all the better things I've heard,
Loving you has made the words
And all the rest seem so absurd,
'Cause in the end it all comes out I`m sure.

So won't you please read my signs, be a gypsy.
Tell me what I hope to find deep within me.
Because you can find my mind, please be with me.

Still perfectly, beautifully listenable in 2019 😑✌️

The emotional stature if Duane Allman...boy. It's incredible.

Such a killer tune never forget brother duane

Maybe my favorite non ABB song Duane ever did. Great country song

I bought 2 copies of the album (Duane Allman's 'An Anthology') this song was contained on when it was released at the end of 1972. I was going to give a copy to my then-current girlfriend for Christmas.
Well, we broke up just before Christmas so she never received her copy. Before I knew it, 10 years had passed, then 20. I kept it, unopened, for 40+ years, stashed away in closets and suitcases. I kept it wrapped in a beach towel, away from the light and the prying hands of others.
Then, back in October 2016, before the 45th anniversary of Duane's death, I put it up for sale on E-bay. I also put ads on various Allman Bros. websites.
I received thousands of inquiries and bids. I was overwhelmed by the response. I had no idea how much Duane's music meant to so many people.
So, what did I do? Nothing....I still have it tucked in the back of my closet. I think one day, unless I REALLY need the money, I'll roll up a large joint, grab a dark Heineken, open up the album, put it on my turntable and just....REMEMBER.

Duane made everyone better. There is no doubt.

Thank you, Nakul. Hope you are still around. Take care. 5 years later..

Never be another like Duane

Eddie Ericksen

I did get to see the Greg Allman Tour with special guest Cowboy at the Capitol Theatre in Passaic NJ Dec. 1974. I was 15 at the time, one of my favorite shows. Wish I could go back in time.

Oh Dear God does it get any fucking better than this ? I mean really people .

no...no it really don't..

beautiful,,,LOl

Love it

Listen to this all the time when I’m sad n alone. Beautiful song❤️ comforts me

Why is this such an unknown song ?

nice version but clapton s version is better

I’ve been in love with a new song “Take Me Back” (Sarah Jarosz). I realize it’s because it’s a tribute for lack of a better word to this song I’ve loved for almost 50 years. Damn. I’m getting old lol.

A ton can be said for Scott and Tommy. Great 1970's talent and honestly good guys.

Brother Duane the best ever, what more can I say!!!

Fabulous!

The lyrics in this song, man. How does someone even think of such utterly breathtaking poetry, like, where does it come from? So beautiful, I can't stop crying.

I believe if God picked up a dobro, this is how it would sound

that slide resonator is so beautiful. what a great song

Duane 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Even the slightest chance that you’re reading this, I love you Mi Amor.

I love you Pat

Like a fine wine, it just gets better with age.

This is MUSIC

That is how God would play the dobro.

Duane is the boring guitarist, there are so many great interesting guitar players, not this sorry

Eric Clapton's version brought me to this great song,I like them both.

Dripping nostalgia.....Duane's Dobro guitar work is second to none. So evocative of a point in time that is long gone, a softer time when "cowboys" played in garage bands, then became shooting stars.

Simple yet beautiful.
All the more poignant when you take into account Duane died just weeks after recording this.

I check your channel and find very good music a forgotten groups i notice you like uli jon roth,frank marino, and randy hasen i recommend too robin trower i m a fan of jimi hendrix like you i supposed . Thank you for upload this fantastic music. I like Duane Allman too for me its very special guitarrist a genius.

Thanx Kanino....I do have a few Trower songs on my channel...You have Great Taste!

Beautiful, just beautiful

scott boyer and tommy talton brother. duane

Wow. I’ll listen to this every day. Duane’s sweet playing.

47 years to the day. Remember Duane Allman.

Thank you Sky Dog for your music!

Duane Allman.
So sad we lost you so early.
You had so much to give.
What we heard lives forever in our hearts.
I'm sure you're jamming together with all the other folk we've lost upstairs now.
Thank you so much for posting this video onto your site.

A very appreciative Englishman.

If I'm down I listen to this, and it lifts me up.  So beautiful

The best slide player of all time RIP skydog...

Finest acoustic guitar playing I've ever heard.

To pray for the repose of one's friend's soul.

wherever you are Jason , miss you mate.

💕 💞 💓 💗 💖

Love this song

Such absolute beauty and mastery in the playing of this 24 yr old man. Words cannot fully express the admiration and respect for Duane...

Sounds just as special now as it did in 1971. We lost Scott a couple months ago, RIP Scott.

RIP Scott Boyer 17/10/47 - 13/02/18

so i will watch it 28 k more times, memories of front porch summers in Atlanta, thanks alan, always, for great inspiration from great tunes.

Beautiful, makes me miss Duane Allman all over again

One Way Out the fine recent rich bio by Alan Paul on the Allman Brothers Band, has Butch Trucks describing deepest and saddest moment with this song weeks after Duane devastating crash pg 161.

Totally Majestic Tune!!! Beautiful Video, too!!! For Spore!!! I meant, For Sure!!!🕊 Thank you for posting this!!!

27 thumbs down?

Yea , cowboy had the Eagles sound down before the Eagles did.

So epic...pure love.

The Legend !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As a teen I grew up in Jax watching All these guys from the beginning and their music has been a tremendous influence on my life. Later in life this is the song I sang to both my kids as their lullaby, every night to put them to sleep. Today I sing it to my grandson and he nods out peacefully responding the same way my kids did! It's a beautiful song and an intricate part of our lives!

Love ❤️ this song 🎼Cowboy was a great band they have about four albums out that are fantastic and beautiful From the early 70s incorporating Duane into this song

I have done and do the same thing. Duane would like that I think.

One of my favorites!

RIP Scott Boyer passed February 13 2018 Vocals on his song played with his band Cowboy Tommy Talton lead with guest Duane Allman this great recording

Great song!

Legend at Work ! Beautiful !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!$$$%$%%%%$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

RIP SCOTTScott Boyer, founding member of the band Cowboy (toured with Gregg in 74) has died.

RIP Scott Boyer

RIP Scott Boyer, sad to hear of his passing last night, a wonderful songwriter and musician

R.I.P. - Scott Boyer

Scott Boyer (October 17, 1947 - February 13. 2018) American guitarist and singer and songwriter. a founding member of the bands Cowboy + the Decoys + The Tiffany System. (aged 70)

Rest high on that mountain Scott. You are loved by many. Till we meet again my brother.

Headphone tune

Duane can never be forgotten

This song still squeezes my heart and takes me back to a simpler and gentler life, that seems both eons ago and just yesterday.

This is a sweet song, but 1971 was not a simpler or gentler time: nostalgia just makes it seem so Remember Viet Nam? Nixon? Segregation? Love this song, but be careful.

Relaxing

Of all the different versions I've heard this is my favorite. So beautiful with Duane on the Dobro.

Ugh this one rips at the heart strings. I'd be damned if it weren't an homage to Duane himself from friends and family (and fans).

I get cold chills every time I listen to this song.

My wedding song..

some of the finest dobro playing on a truly beautiful early 1970s song. great band, great track - to think what Duanne could've done had he not died so early!

It (attention) Itself is dreaming continuously (needs) minding while awake for lies(illusions) to remain unnaturally real, because biological instruments (I's") must eat to survive its temporary existence with me! LOL!

I'm 17. Born in 2000. Grew up listening to my dads Grateful Dead, Black Crowes, Ry Cooder, Little Feat, and of course Allman Brothers records on an iPod he "bestowed" to me. I grew playing every conceivable instrument aside of brass and woodwinds. And man, it pisses me off that trash like 5th Harmony and John Legend are considered the top acts right now. Sure a good voice can be great, but when there is lack of grooving rhythm and instrumentation in a song it simply packs less of an impact, personally. And the fact that everybody today is considered talented for their lyrical "ability" is shameful. I wouldn't even think of ten "musicians" on the billboard 200 (the worst conceivable way of finding great music btw) who can play a musical instrument other than maybe 5 chords on a piano and guitar.

Get your shit together music industry, cuz I hope to God you have something better up your sleeve.

Geweldig. Groeten uit Utrecht, Holland

Real music for real people ! This generation has no fucking clue man.

17 deaf people listened to this then.

Good Lord! Please Thank God for sharing this genius with us!!! We are not worthy of Duane! Thankful though...

I cry, not for what I hear, for what I missed!

OK this music touches my soul! I cry for the gypsy!
What I sould give to party with Duane!

I saw Scott Boyer today with Donnie Fritts playing in Florence. Scott played this. So glad I went.

rawblues this is funny. I listen to this cut once a day....my medicine. Never read the comments until now. Would have loved to see Scott and Donnie together. Was just listening to a Donnie Fritts and Billy Bob Thornton penned tune called "If You Build Your Own Prison You Gotta Do Your Own Time"

A beautiful song of conscience thoughts-I first heard it 1976-just great!

Scott Boyer, Tommy Talton and the great Duane Allman. Man, Macon rocked in those days.

I lived in Macon during seventies and eighties. Used to listen to Cowboy play this at a venue that used to be called the Varsity but was renamed later. I love the music that was birthed in Macon, going back to Otis and Little Richard.

those years were my "haydays" great times and music.............................

カウボーイ　いいよね。

can't even put into words the feelings...
