Young Danny Lee is the 4th track on Tallsome Tales by The Carnivaleros. Björgvin Benediktsson interviews songwriter Gary Mackender and mixing/mastering engineer Karl Hoffmann about the inspirations behind the song and how it came to be. Young Danny lived at the edge of town Only fifteen years was he While lending a hand to his father Jack Climbed up the roof to see Time Stood still as if transfixed By the knife of memory In a room below Jack raised his gun And shot young Danny Lee O, he shot young Danny Lee A cold wind on the prairie The day young Danny died The small Kansas town was turned upside down For he was his father's pride O, he was his father's pride Old Annie Danny's mother Healed animals by trade His father Jack a stoic man Had nothing much to say His brother and two sisters Too young to understand Moved on through life not knowing What Danny might've been What Danny might've been On the edge of that small Kansas town Tucked back all dark and gray The husk of their house still remains As if they walked away The furnishings all smell of mold Their clothes in disarray Dead vines all scattered 'cross the roof Where Danny Lee did lay Where Danny Lee did lay A cold wind on the prairie The day young Danny died The small Kansas town was turned upside down For he was his father's pride O, he was his father's pride Gary Mackender - drums, accordion Catherine Zavala - vocals Karl Hoffmann - bass Joe Fanning - acoustic guitar, mandolin
