Bluegrass Comedy! Did something come up? No, something come down, my wife's foot!
My "band" is a Macintosh Computer with a sequencer and instrument module (software) and a recording simulator called deck. But it is amazing what can be done with these things!
Story behind the song
Heard a story years ago about a fella who said he couldn't go somewhere or other because something came down. When others said, you mean something came up, he said, no something came down. Wife's foot. So I thought I would try and make a song about it.
Lyrics
v. 1
I called by buddy Friday, said I can't come to town.
I know we're on for poker but something just come down
You mean that it come up, that was my friend's reply
Ya heard me right the first time, I answered with a sigh.
Chorus 1
I was gonna be there, oh yes, I really was
But I couldn't make it and the reason is because
Something come down, and it was my wife's foot.
v2
I told my Ford truck dealer that pick-up was real nice.
The terms were fair and gen'rous and I couldn't beat the price.
I said I'd be back someday and take her off his hands
But something had come down and so, I had to change my plans.
Chorus 2
I was gonna buy it, oh yes, I really was
But I took a rain check and the reason is because
Something come down, and it was my wife's foot.
V. 3
I was gonna sleep in. Snooze 'til noon in bed.
And so when my wife got up I laid there playing dead
But there was corn for hoeing, a fence for fixing too
And with her chewing on my ear, now what's a fella do?
Chorus 3
I was gonna dog it, oh yes, I really was
But I had to get up and the reason is because
Something come down, and it was my wife's foot.
If I want ta go out or try me something new
First I best determine the location of her shoe!
Something come down, and it was my wife's foot.
I said something come down, and it was my wife's foot.
Not up, it come down, and it was my wife's foot.
