1048 – Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young – Country girl (1970)

Escrita por Neil Young, foi gravada em 1969 e lançada em 11 de março de 1970, no disco Deja Vu, pelos Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.

É composta de três partes. A primeira é Whisky boot hill, que Neil havia começado a compor em 1967 e lançou-a com um arranjo de cordas no seu disco de estréia. A segunda parte é Down, down, down, que ele havia gravado com o Buffalo Springfield mas que nunca havia sido lançada. A última parte é a chamada Country girl (I think you're pretty).

A letra:

Winding paths through tables and glass
First flowers bloom
Now watch the Summer pass
So close to you
Too late to keep the change
Too late to pay
No time to stay the same
Too young to leave
No pass out sign on the door set me thinking
Are waitresses paying the price of their winking
While stars sit at bars and decide what they're drinking
They drop by to die because it's faster than sinking
Too late to keep the change
Too late to pay
No time to stay the same
Too late to keep the change
Too late to pay
No time to stay the same
Too young to leave
Find out that now was the answer to answers
That you gave later
She did the things that we both did before now
But who forgave her?
If I could stand to see her crying
I would tell her not to care
When she learns of all your lying
Will she join you there?
Country girl I think you're pretty
Got to make you understand
Have no lovers in the city
Let me be your country man
Got to make you understand
Got to make you understand
Country girl ...
