Subject: Lyr Add: HAS ANYONE SEEN MY BABY HERE TONIGHT
Yep, but Willie's happy enough playing with Fred. They are good friends, most of the time. Fred certainly gives him enough work and is smart enough to know he's got a good thing with Willie in the band.

Another Wille P. gem:

Has Anyone Seen My Baby Here Tonight?
Willie P. Bennett 1978

There's a storm raging over the city
Lightnin' flashing, cars racing everywhere
In the distance, you can hear the sirens screaming
And the thunder'll wake a dead man with its blare
Someone said it's none of your business
She's a big girl and can care for herself alright
I know she's a woman for sure
And a big girl too
But has anyone seen my baby here tonight?

Sometimes we play a foolish game
Trying to see who can hurt who the most
It's a foolish game at best
But she plays better than the rest
And I guess I won this foolish game tonight
Before I knew what had happened, she was out the back door
With no coat and tears in her eyes
Now the storm is raging so loud
And I don't feel so proud
Tell me, has anyone seen my baby here tonight?
