Thread Name: Lyr Req: Put Your Shoes On, Lucy (Hank Fort)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Put Your Shoes On, Lucy

Q was having trouble posting to this thread, so I'll post it for him:
The song was composed by Hank Fort, a singer-composer, and a woman, full name Alma Louise Middleton Hankins Fort, born 1914, from Nashville.
"I Didn't Know the Gun Was Loaded" was a hit composition.
"You Can't Hurt Me Now Cause I'm Dead" is another example of her humor.

Her cd, "Hank Fort Sings Her Own Great Songs," was released by Epic in 1958.
(Boy, would I like to have it!)

Here's a YouTube Recording by Hank Fort, and another by Anne Shelton.
