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".

If You Gotta Go, Go Now Lyrics
Cowboy Junkies
(bob dylan)
Listen to me, baby
Theres something that you must see
I want to be with you, boy
If you want to be with me
But if you gotta go, its all right
But if you gotta go, go now
Or else you gotta stay all night
Its not that Im questioning you
To take part in some kind of quiz
Its just that I have got no watch
And you keep askin me what time it is
But if you gotta go, its all right
But if you gotta go, go now
Or else you gotta stay all night
I am just a poor girl, baby
Trying to connect
I certainly dont want you thinkin
That I havent got any respect
If you gotta go, its all right
But if you gotta go, go now
Or else you gotta stay all night
It aint that I am wanting
Anything you never gave before
Its just that Ill be sleeping soon
Itll be too dark for you to find the door
If you gotta go, its all right
But if you gotta go, go now
Or else you gotta stay all night
