Story behind the song
I loved the original so much, that I felt the need to record it myself, a capella style. I pretty much totally killed the bluesy spirit of the original, and replaced it with something pretty hokey. But I think it gives the song new and at least interesting life. I like it.
Lyrics
Eighteen, nineteen, twenty years ago I taken my gal to a country store. Taken my gal to a country store I bought my gal some calico. Tall-ya ho ho, gee, back up, yeah. Whoa, buck an’ gee, by the lamb Who made the back band, whoa, goddamn. Whoa, buck an’ gee, by the lamb Who made the back band, whoa, goddamn. Whoa, goddamn, and whoa goddamn, Who made the back band, whoa, goddamn. I taken my gal to a country store I bought my gal some calico, Taken my gal to a party-o Wouldn’t let her dance but a set or so. Tall-ya hey hey, gee, back up, yeah.
