Subject: Lyr Add: LET'S GET DRUNK AND TRUCK (Harlem Hamfats
Here's my version of the lyrics....And, the Hamfats included the McCoy Brothers,from Mississippi...
Anyone got the chords? I used to have 'em.....
LET'S GET DRUNK AND TRUCK
Plenty liquor and a gang of beer/appears
A cosy corner and a word of cheer
No one will bother us while we're here/no one to bother; so, gee, my dear:
Let's get drunk & truck
I know your other man is out of town
My other woman she is not around.
Now is the time to break 'em down:
Let's get drunk & truck
If we should accidently
Get too high to go home
I've got an extra dollar
To buy us all some corn!/to rent a party/parking room
Plenty kisses and other fun
Another gallon to wake up on/and a gallon to wake up on
Thought it's nothing to be waiting on:
Let's get drunk and truck! Yeah! INSTRU BREAK 2 verse & chorus & verse
Plenty liquor and a gang of beer/appears
A cozy corner and a word of cheer
No one will bother us while we're here/no one to bother, so; gee, my dear:
Let's get drunk & truck
I know your other man is out of town
My other woman she is not around..
Now is the time to break 'em down:
Let's get drunk & truck
If we should accidently
Get too high to go home
I've got an extra dollar
To buy us all some corn!/to rent a parking room!/party room
Plenty kisses and other fun
Another gallon to wake up on/and a gallon to wake up on
Thought it's nothing to be waiting on:/so there is nothing to be waiting on
Let's get drunk and truck!
