[b]Hill Farmer's Blues[/b] (Mark Knopfler)  3:45)

LYRICS

I’m going into tow law
For what I need

Chain for the ripsaw
Killer for the weed
The dog’s at the back door
Leave him be
Don’t feed him Jack
And don’t wait up for me

Going into tow law
To fuel my fire
Shells for the twelve
And razor wire
The dog’s at the back door
Leave him be
Don’t do jack
And don’t wait up for me
 
So bad so bad
So bad so bad

I’m going into tow law
To have my fun
Don’t get me wrong
You were the only one
Behind my back lord
You made a fool of me
Don’t do jack
And don’t wait up for me
 
So bad so bad
So bad so bad

Yes i was speeding up the A68 to Hexham so is stopped for fives minutes. Tow Law is a very high little town and is often cut off by snow in the winter months; it commands beautiful views of the moors to the south  and west where there are lots of sheep farms.

The scenery is beautiful around Tow Law!  My avatar was taken on our way to Edinburgh for the KTGC concert.  On the opposite side of the road there was a farm with a sheepdog tied to a chain - "dog's at the back door"!    ;D      Nice pictures, Geordie_60!
