Lyrics: My baby never was the cheatin' kind But it wasn't 'cause the ladies didn't try Now everywhere we go They're walkin' 'round him slow Givin' him a flutter and a sigh Now I got him past that redhead in atlanta Lord I walked all over that black-eyed cajun queen But outside of amarillo, he found his thrill, I'll tell you Oh, I lost him to a jukebox and a pinball machine Oh amarillo what'd you want my baby for Oh amarillo now he won't come home no more You done played a trick on me Hooked him in the first degree While he put another quarter Push dolly and then porter While he racks up fifty thousand on the pinball machine If we only hadn't stopped in there for coffee If someone hadn't played the window up above He'd still be mine today But he heard those fiddles play One look and then I knew this must be love Oh that pinball machine was in the corner Well he saw the lights and he had to hear 'em ring And he never was the same after he won his first free game Oh I lost him to a jukebox and a pinball machine Oh amarillo what'd you want my baby for Oh amarillo now he won't come home no more You done played a trick on me Hooked him in the first degree While he put another quarter Push dolly and then porter While he racks up fifty thousand on the pinball machine Oh amarillo what'd you want my baby for Oh amarillo now he won't come home no more You done played a trick on me Hooked him in the first degree While he put another quarter Push dolly and then porter While he racks up fifty thousand on the pinball machine

Emmylou Harris is a National Treasure.

She has the clearest most pure voice I have ever heard. I never get tired of hearing her sing. If I ever become completely deaf I will be just as happy to watch her sing!

How about a word for Hank DeVito, my favorite steel guitar player. Never tried to hog the limelight but always put in tasty pickin' that fit perfectly for each song performed.

[@richardgoffin-lecar1951]

Fabulous pedal steel player!

One of the greatest rhymes ever!

[@jimreeves5212]

Check out Kathy Matteas version. It's a good one, too!

[@coleparker]

I was raised on this kind of Country music as my father was born (1927) and raised in Texas and he converted my mom from Hollywood Calif. to the music. So we kids were all raised with Hank Williams, Tex Ritter, Eddie Arnold. He would have loved this music. I sure do.

[@chiplovitt8538]

So many great versions of Emmylou's Hot Band. Love all her recordings with guitarists such as Albert Lee, Frank Reckard and of course Buddy Miller, and the Nash Ramblers, but this version of the Hot Band, with James Burton, Rodney Crowell, John Ware, etc...is my favorite.

[@tcb6875]

The original Hot Band with James Burton, fantastic!

The Master of the Telecaster Mr. James Burton is gettin after it with the "Chicken Pickin" on this one and good to see this early Emmylou. She took to the country music like a fish to water.

[@janathmer2587]

Saw her wirth this GREAT band late 1975 and february 1976 here in the Netherlands. James Burton is brilliant!!

[@nedlambton6602]

1:22 and 2:17- The reason she is grinning is that she is so blown away by the quality of James Burton's guitar fills.
