Subject: Lyr Add: USING THAT THING (Doug Bine)
Another blues song that made the transition to western swing:
USING THAT THING
As recorded by Doug Bine and His Dixie Ramblers, 1936
1. Old Uncle Bud, past ninety-six,
Just got back from havin' it fixed.
CHORUS: Oh, yeah! (Somebody's been usin' that thing.)
Hey, hey! (Somebody's been usin' that thing.)
Sure as you're born, somebody's been usin' that thing.
2. ...
Two step out while the other one sings: CHORUS
3. Two old maids in a foldin' bed,
One turned over to the other and said: CHORUS
4. Had a little gal, she lived next door.
Used to come see me but she don't no more. CHORUS
5. Had a little gal, she lived on a hill.
She won't do it but her sister will. CHORUS
