Thread Name: Lyr Req/Add: Keep on Truckin' Mama
Subject: RE: Keep on truckin mama?
Some of the verses I recall from an Army friend's singing in Monterey, 1963-64:
What's that smell like fish, baby babe?
Well, I'll tell ya if ya really wanna know--
It ain't sardines, it don't come in a can,
You been dishin' it out to some other man,
But you jus' keep on truckin' Mama, truckin' all the blues away.
Well you come home this morning with your ass in your hand,
Now there's just one thing that I don't understand,
How a knock-kneed woman love a bowlegged man,
But you jus' keep on truckin' Mama, truckin' all the blues away.
