New Tag

Help

Q: What are tags?
A: Tags are a way to add consistent notes to songs.

Q: When should I use tags?
A: Tags should be used for "notes" that can apply to multiple songs or performances. A good tag would be "clawhammer", to apply to all songs that Billy plays on his banjo. A bad tag would be "Streaker ran across stage" - since this has only happened once (thank goodness).

Q: Where should I add a tag?
A: A tag that should apply to everytime a song is played, like "solo, acappella" for "And am I Born to Die" should be added on the songs page. This will automatically add the tag every time that song is added to a setlist.

A tag that only applies to certain performances of a song, like "pay Jarrod Walker's fine" lyric change that happens in some versions of "Little Maggie" should be added to that particular version of the song on each setlist.

Q: How do I add a tag?
A: Click the "Manage tags" button either from the songs page or the song editing option on the edit setlist page. Click on a tag from the "Available" tags to add it to the song. Click on a tag from under the song title to remove it from the song. Click the "New Tag" button if the tag you want to add is not under the Available tags list.

Where was you when the train left town?
I's standin' on the corner with my head hung down
Hey, the train carried my girl from town
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Spoken: That's kinda the way she sounded when she's rollin' away from the depot...

If I had a gun I'd let the hammer down
Lord, I'd shoot that rounder took my girl from town
Hey, that train that carried my girl from town
Hey, hey, hey, hey

There goes the train that carried my girl from town;
If I knowed her number, Lord, I'd flag her down
Hey, the train carried my girl from town
Hey, hey, hey, hey

Rations on the table and the coffee's gettin' cold
And some dirty rounder stole my jelly roll
Hey, the train carried my girl from town
Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hello, Central, give me six-o-nine
I want to talk to that woman of mine
Hey, that train that carried my girl from town
Hey, hey, hey, hey

I wish to the Lord that the train would wreck
Kill that engineer and break the fireman's neck
Hey, that train done carried my girl from town
Hey, hey, hey, hey

SPOKEN: Rollin' on down the line...

Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Show me the woman that a man can trust
Hey, that train that carried my girl from town
Hey, hey, hey, hey

There goes my girl, somebody bring her back
'Cause she's got her hand in my money sack
Hey, that train carried my girl from town
Hey, hey, hey, hey

SPOKEN: This is kinda way that train went when she went outa hearin'...
