Herb Pedersen & Laurel Canyon Ramblers Just When I Needed You written by Jack Anglin Clyde Baum J.R. Wright Herb Pedersen vocals/guitar Bill Bryson bass Billy Ray Lathum guitar Kenny Blackwell mandolin Gabe Witcher fiddle Just when I needed you You left and went away You made my life so blue Both night and day You left me here behind With a troubled worried mind So broken hearted too Just when I needed you I've cried, I've cried I've played, I've tried To forget you and never call your name What a shame, what a shame You're the one that was to blame You're the one that proved untrue Just when I needed you SOLO You said it's best we part And never loved again And though it broke my heart I won't complain You know I love you still And dear, always will Although you proved untrue Just when I needed you I've cried, I've cried I've played, I've tried To forget you and never call your name What a shame, what a shame You're the one that was to blame You're the one that proved untrue Just when I needed you You're the one that proved untrue Just when I needed you From Laurel Canyon Ramblers "Blue Rambler 2" Sugar Hill Records 1996 Acuff Rose Music(BMI)
