This may be a straight boogie but I think it really cooks... in my dreams I can imagine this done by the Rolling Stones!

Artist picture
Singer-songwriter, arranger and producer: acoustic contemporary folk but ranging into rock/blues/country/jazz/humour...all very eclectic, I'm afraid!
Martin Stirrup Singer/songwriter An old folkie who got back into it... These days I sing and play guitar(s) and other stringed instruments, then score and orchestrate where appropriate. My taste becomes increasingly eclectic ranging from finger-picked folk through country to soft rock mixed in with a few more alternative and eccentric numbers, including the odd novelty foxtrot...

Story behind the song
I actually was chugging up a river in a beat up tub (in Myanmar) when I wrote this... get a good line and the song takes over!
Lyrics
E boogie I’ve been chugging up your river in a beat up tub Don’t wanna be an Indian giver but hey here’s the rub B G D E Darling please, ain’t it time to set me free I’ve been crawling up your chimney with my big sweep’s brush I don’t think I’ve got it in me to give you the shove But Darling please, ain’t it time to set me free I’ve been digging your potatoes with my spade and hoe I can’t help but think that maybe it’s the time to go Darling please, ain’t it time to set me free I’ve been eating at your table with my knife and fork Honey don’t you think it’s time that we should have that talk Darling please, ain’t it time to set me free A E Don’t you think that things have run their course? A E Let’s quit before it starts to go from bad to worse Ab Don’t wanna spend my life just marking time A Girls like you must be about a dozen a dime C7/maj7 B7 It’s like I’m floundering underneath your curse Ive been scrubbing in your bathroom with your bar of soap I’ve been looking to the future now with sinking hope Darling please, ain’t it time to set me free I’ve been sleeping in your bed without a by your leave You know I really never meant to hurt or deceive Darling please, ain’t it time to set me free Repeat end phrase to fade-out
