"Gate Of Horn"

Roger McGuinn Lyrics    Back
Written By: Roger McGuinn and Jacques Levy
©1974 EMI Blackwood Music, Inc./Patian Music/Jackelope Publishing Company Inc. (BMI)
Album: "Peace On You" - 1974

Goin' to the Gate of Horn in my memory
Red light flickerin' on the tablecloth
Big dark beer in front of me
How I wish that I was there standin' at the bar
Listening to Mr. Gibson play on his fine guitar
It's a big old twelve-string and it went like this

Gate of Horn, Gate of Horn
Glad I was Chicago born
Gate of Horn meant everything to me
I was barely seventeen
A little salty and a little green
Gate of Horn meant everything to me

There was Judy and Peter and Josh and Odetta
The Clancies and Mary and Paul made it better
And Grossman and Tommy and Dickie and Lou
And when one was looking McGuinn was there too

Then they came and tore it down
The songbirds scattered and they all left town
Gate of Horn meant everything to me

Oh, Gate of Horn, Gate of Horn
Glad I was Chicago born
Gate of Horn meant everything to me

Peace On You
