Lyrics:
Sweet City Woman (R. Dodson / Bell Records)
Well, I'm on my way
To the city lights
To the pretty face that shines her light
On the city nights
And I gotta catch a noon train
I gotta be there on time
Oh it feels so good to know she waits
At the end of the line
Sweet, sweet city woman
I can see your face, I can hear your voice
I can almost touch you
Sweet, sweet city woman
Oh my banjo and me
We got a feel for singing, yeah, yeah
Bon, ci bon, bon, bon, ci bon, bon
Bon, ci bon, bon, bon, bon, bon
Bon, ci bon, bon, bon, ci bon, bon
Bon, ci bon, bon, bon, bon, bon
So long Ma, so long Pa
So long neighbours and friends
Like a country morning
All smothered in dew
She's got a way to make a man
Feel shiny and new
And she'll sing in the evening
Old familiar tunes
And she feeds me love and tenderness
And macaroons
Sweet, sweet city woman
Oh my sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet city woman
Sweet, sweet city woman
Oh my sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet city woman

I was going to community college back in ‘73 in Bridgewater ,Nova Scotia when the Stampeders did a concert. It was amazing that 3 men could make such great music with none of the electronic trickery that bands use today. You don’t have to be talented, just have the right audio equipment. Long live pure music.

I earned my YT name in Edmonton. Left 1986 to move to my wife's W Pacific tropical island. I remember Calgary 1970 when hitchiking around. To Van of course. My son studied U of C. Stay chill ❤

Jesus ! I fell down this KZfaq rabbit hole an hour ago watching nothing but early 70's videos ! This song reminds me of this pretty, pretty girl my dad was dating around the early 70's. Boy, did he fuck that up.

While my family was down at my Aunt & Uncle's home in Virginia. All of us were having a barbecue and getting into some AWESOME music. One of my uncle's friends came over with his family and was having a great time with us. My uncle played a few songs and we were watching him and his family dance in which they were very good!!! He asked my uncle and aunt if we could dance. They Replied " You haven't seen anything YET"!!! I had my uncle play this and my mother's eyes lit up and she started to cry!! Then my sisters all got FIRED UP!!! My aunt Rose then said, " Watch this family in ACTION"!!! All of us got up and got in the middle of the patio and DESTROYED IT!!!! My aunt Rose soon had tears in her eyes as well!! My energy level went TOTALLY NUCLEAR!!! It felt so GOOD!!! My girlfriend Debbie started to cry and SCREAMED in delight!!!!! Everyone else was in shock watching us BLOW UP the Patio and put on a dance CLINIC!!!! We got done and my mother kissed and hugged us, so did my Aunt Rose Then she thanked me for playing this song. My uncle told his friend, " My sister& her family can dance like no one ELSE!!! My nieces and my nephew put their hearts and souls into their dancing!!! These kids are the REAL DEAL!!!! My aunt said, " Every time I see these kids dance, I see nothing but LOVE and INTENSITY"!! especially out of my nephew!!! My aunt Rose then said, " These kids show so much love for each other when they dance together. That kind of love shows how much they LOVE me and their mother!!! We are SO PROUD of these Kids!!! They are TRULY SPECIAL!!!!

I remember driving past the Tetons in Wyoming with my girlfriend in our VW microbus listening to this for the first time in ‘71. That image still comes to mind. Great song.

Grew up 60s and 70s. Played music on the streets of San Francisco in 75. Greatest era for music ever. If you were fortunate enough to grow up in those days, you know exactly what Im saying.

Love the double-neck Fender. That is the only one I have ever seen. I was 11 when this song was released and always liked it. I always imagined walking hand-in-hand with the 10-year-old blondie girl that lived across the street.

+scdevon I'm awash with memories of Merv Griffin, Mike Douglas and bands playing electric instruments without being plugged in. Funny how the song on TV always sounds like the record (oh yes, record). I think live performance was limited to Don Kirshner's Rock Concert and occasionally on the short-lived Wolfman Jack's Midnite Special.

Who was around when this was cut?, I still have that guitar solo stuck in my head. This was groundbreaking back in the day, that banjo made this very popular. One of my favorites, oh if we could only go back to the days of awsome music.
