Lost my catahoula several years ago and this is his song.... RIP BUB 🙏

[@joshcollard242]

Kaya (hello) Listening from Perth WA Australia, nyoongar country keep up the talent U mob , I must leave you for a season Go out logging that hardwood timber Hardwood timber that grows so low In the forest of Fennario Tell me what you need to live, love Do you ask that you might own Keep my blue-eyed hound to guard you I will make my way alone I will not return in winter If I be not back by fall Seek me when this small sunflower Stands above the garden wall Fare you well and I would not weep Bid you tend your prayers to keep Hill by dale now I must go To the forest of Fennario Nine-month blew with sleeted rain And still he came not back again Summoned she the hound to go To seek him in Fennario He came back the fated day To find his lady gone away Made haste to follow in her track Where she could go but not turn back The blue-eyed hound at her side did bay While fast her breath did fade away She cried out, "Turn, my love, and go I would not you see me so" Fare you well and I would not weep Bid you tend your prayers to keep Hill by dale now I must go To the forest of Fennario I shall not turn, I shall not yield Oh, selfsame serpent sting my heel That bleeds my lady's blood away Beside the blue-eyed hound to lay Angels sing their souls to sleep Four winds grace their breath to keep Up above yon garden wall Stands the sunflower, straight and tall Fare you well and I would not weep Bid you tend your prayers to keep Hill by dale now I must go To the forest of Fennario

[@samgibson684]

Nobody filled Jerry's shoes better than Warren....

[@Trippinovermylaces]

Fantastic Band.!!

[@N2Mtns2]

I 🎸🙌🏼 hope and pray he Adds this to their PLAYLIST when they *do Reschedule Lower Michigan. “LAY OF THE SUNFLOWER” or “CINNAMON GIRL”. My Marine Bro is coming in & he said “I’d put my foot in a meat grinder to see Warren & Govt Mule”. 😳😳🤣🇺🇸

[@N2Mtns2]

Michigan Cancelled - 🥹😥 Yet Bookings Galore Elsewhere?? Tell a SUPER DISAPPOINTED USMC & me *WHY 🥹🇺🇸

[@c6quad3]

That sucks the show got cancelled! I've seen Mule countless times and I've only seen this song played once and that was at a Dead and Co. show. Or it might've been Phil and Friends, I can't remember which. But in between sets Warren came out with just an acoustic guitar and sang this song. I don't think I've heard it at any of the Mule shows I've been to and I've been to a bunch! I wish they would play this more often. I love it!

[@danielcampbell9344]

​@c6quad3 15 shows and never heard it live. It's a rare thing. Probably the best tune he has in my opinion

[@benbarletta2927]

LOVE THIS!!!

[@oicsaywhat]

Hunter will forever be missed

[@gregman05]

RIP Rob Wasserman :(

[@danielcampbell9344]

I think about Rob often. I sat in a room with him and maybe 20 people one night. He played solo for a long while before him and Vince Herman, a guy named Jim Page played a bunch of Woody Guthrie songs

[@nickpaliaroutis6035]
