The Cowboy Junkiesare a Canadian alt-country/ alternative rockband, formed by three siblings from the Timmins entertainment family. The group formed in Toronto in 1985. The band's name was simply a random choice as they approached their first ever gig, but it has come to perfectly represent their sound. (Some sources may credit Townes Van Zandt's song "Cowboy Junkies Lament" as the source of the band's name, but that song was written especially for Cowboy Junkies several years after they coined the name.) The Trinity Sessionis perhaps their best known record, recorded live in a single day on a single microphone in a church in Toronto. This album also included a unique cover version of Lou Reed's "Sweet Jane".

32-20 Blues Lyrics
Cowboy Junkies
(robert johnson)
If I send for my baby and he dont come
If I send for my baby, man, and he dont come
All the doctors in hot springs they sure cant help him none
And if he gets unruly, things he dont wanna do
And if he gets unruly and thinks he wont do
Ill take my 32-20, now, and cut him half in two
Im gonna shoot my pistol, Im gonna shoot my gatling gun
Yeah, Im gonna shoot my pistol, Im gotta shoot my gatling gun
You made me love you, now your man have come
Baby, where you stay last night?
Yeah, I said baby, whered you stayed last night?
cause you got the hair all tangled and you aint talkin right
Whered you stayed last night?

He got a .38 special but I believe its most too light
He got a .38 special but I believe its most too light
I got a 32-20, got to make the camps alright
If I send for my baby, man, and he dont come
If I send for my baby, man, and he dont come
All the doctors in hot springs sure cant help her none
Her .38 special, boys, do it very well
Her .38 special, boys, it do very well
I got a 32-20 now, and its a burnin
If I send for my baby, man, and he dont come
If I send for my baby, man, and he dont come
All the doctors in wisconsin sure cant help him none
Hey, hey baby, whered you stay last night?
Hey, hey baby, whered you stay last night?
You didnt come home until the sun was shining bright
Ah-oh, boy, I just cant take my rest
Ah-oh, boy, I just cant take my rest
With this 32-20 laying up and down my breast
