Well, Spaw, I'm pretty sure. Nobody played hokey pseudo-Western music like Pee Wee King and his Golden West Cowboys, and that's definitely Hawkshaw on the vocals. I've found several references to a Hawkins/King collaboration on "Slowpoke". Here's one: http://vhost.telalink.net/~nsf/king.html

Slow Poke
By Pee Wee King, Redd Stewart and Chilton Price (c)1951 Ridgeway Music Co., Inc.

(G)You keep me waitin: till it's gettin' aggravatin;
(Ddim)You're a (D7)Slow Poke
I wait n' worry but you never seem to hurry;
You're a (G)Slow Poke
(G7)Time means nothin' to you;
I (C)wait and then, (A7)late again.
(D7)Eight o'clock, nine o'clock, quarter to ten
(G)Why can't you hasten when you see the time's a'wastin';
You're a (G)Slow Poke, (G7)dear.
(C)Why should I keep (Cm)tryin' to change you,
(G)It's not the thing to do.(E7)
I (Am)guess I'll have to learn to be a Slow (D7)Poke, (G)too.

Wait a minute here...........I always liked PeeWee as a kid. I love the stuff he did with Redd, they were a great team and all, but I am not up on the Hawkins thing. Hawkshaw Hawkins had a recording of "Slowpoke" but are you sure it isn't a different recording then the King/Stewart Cowboys recording. Y'all sure about this?

Thanks for the trivia. Never knew that it was ol' Hawkshaw doing that. I was lucky enough to pick up a Pee Wee tape for a couple of bucks. Great memories.

Since my previous request for the lyrics for "Patanio, the Pride Of the Plains" received such generous attention, does anyone have the chords to the old western swing song "Slowpoke"? The version I'm most familiar with was recorded by PeeWee King and the vocal was done by Hawkshaw Hawkins. I understand Neil Young wrote a song of the same name but that's not the one I'm looking for. This one begins, "You keep me waitin' till it's gettin' aggravatin', You're a slowpoke..."

Being a four-chord guitar player, there are a couple of changes in there I can't quite figure out.

And somebody please ask for a song I know so I can give back a little, willya?
