Lyrics:
More Pretty Girls Than One (Take 1) [Version (a)]:
More pretty girls than one
More pretty girls than one
Every town I ramble round
More pretty girls than one
More pretty girls than one
More pretty girls than one
Every town I rambled round
More pretty girls than one
More pretty girls than one
More pretty girls than one
Every town I ramble round
More pretty girls than one
More pretty girls than one
More pretty girls than one
Every town I rambled round
More pretty girls than one
More Pretty Girls Than One (Take 2) [Version (b)]:
More pretty girls than one
There's more pretty girls than one
Every town I ramble round
There's more pretty girls than one
More pretty girls than one
More pretty girls than one
Every town I ramble round
There's more pretty girls than one
Look down that railroad line
See the train go by
Train goes by with the woman I love
And I hang my head and cry
More pretty girls than one
There's more pretty girls than one
Every town I ramble round
There's more pretty girls than one
Look out across that sea
See the breaker swell
How many a love has been washed away
No human tongue can tell
There's more pretty girls than one
There's more pretty girls than one
Every town I ramble round
There's more pretty girls than one
More pretty girls than one
There's more pretty girls than one
Every town I ramble round
There's more pretty girls than one
More pretty girls than one
There's more pretty girls than one
Every town I ramble round
There's more pretty girls than one
More pretty girls than one
More pretty girls than one
Every town I ramble round
There's more pretty girls than one
Look down that railroad line
See the train go by
Train goes by with the woman I love
And I hang my head and cry
More pretty girls than one
There's more pretty girls than one
Every town I ramble round
There's more pretty girls than one
Look out across that sea
See the breaker swell
How many a love has been washed away
No human tongue can tell
There's more pretty girls than one
There's more pretty girls than one
Every town I ramble round
There's more pretty girls than one
More pretty girls than one
There's more pretty girls than one
Every town I ramble round
There's more pretty girls than one
The Song:
"More Pretty Girls Than One" is a Woody Guthrie song, which more modernly seems to have been pulled into the country music world, with a lot of country musicians covering it.
Beck though covered it way back in 1990, where it can be found on a rough tape, which seems to be an informal recording of a sort of house party. Beck and a few friends (mainly one, Dava) sing a whole bunch of old folk songs on the tape, including 5-6 Woody Guthrie tunes.
