"The Way It Goes"?...
Becky Johnson bought the farm
Put a needle in her arm
That's the way that it goes
That's the way
And her brother laid her down
In the cold Kentucky ground
That's the way that it goes
That's the way
That's the way that it goes
Everybody's buying little baby clothes
That's the way that it ends
Though there was a time when she and I were friends
Well, Miranda ran away
Took her cat and left LA
That's the way that it goes
That's the way
She was busted, broke and flat
Had to sell that pussy cat
That's the way that it goes
That's the way
That's the way that it goes
Everybody's buying little baby clothes
That's the way that it ends
Though there was a time when he and I were friends
See the brightest ones of all
Early in October fall
That's the way that it goes
That's the way
While the dark ones go to bed
With good whiskey in their head
That's the way that it goes
That's the way
Now Billy Joe's back in the tank
You tell *Russo*, I'll tell Frank Musso
That's the way that it goes
That's the way
Did he throw her down a well?
Did she leave him for that swell?
That's the way that it goes
That's the way
That's the way that it goes
Everybody's buying little baby clothes
That's the way that it ends
Though there was a time when all of us were friends
When you lay me down to rest
Leave a pistol in my vest
That's the way that it goes
That's the way
Do you miss my gentle touch?
Did I hurt you very much?
That's the way that it goes
That's the way
That's the way that it goes
Everybody's buying little baby clothes
That's the way that it ends
Though there was a time when you and I were friends

To those of you who think this is "comatose" music, go find a death-rock station. This is beautiful, simple, and evocative. Sorry if that's not your cup of belladonna.

A beautiful tune, and a nice quiet way to end the day.

If this is not the last track on her album, then I cannot possibly imagine how sleep-inducing the rest of it must be. I like quiet music, but this is, as has been adequately said by a poster below, comatose.

This is such a nicely crafted song....I had to read back in the posts to see what peeps were saying. I'll just say this.. a couple years before Gillian and David had much "fame".. I saw them in a small room (probably about 120 people) in Dayton, OH. It was a magic evening. One of the only times I've seen an audience so captivated by the performance that you could have heard the proverbial pin drop ! It was by chance that I was in the room that night.. but I left it fan for life!

I have only previously heard her on the awesome Oh brother soundtrack. I got Alisson Krauss New Favourite after that album but this is very impressive too. Might have to look for some albums.

Lovely, but then again I'm a big fan of Gillian owning 3 of her CDs, all of them gems.
And if you ever get a chance to see her live her partner David Rawlings, do it he is an absolutely amazing guitarist.

This is a great tune from a great album. Good for not feeling so alone while staring at a blank computer screen trying to produce something...

I heard her recording, Every Thing Is Free, on RP. I bought it that day. That's a great album, Time(The Revelator).

Gillian Welch's voice just does not get old. Ever.
