Thread Name: Lyr Req: Stood Up (Ricky Nelson)
Subject: Stood Up (Ricky Nelson)
Not exactly folk (even by my liberal definition), but I suppose it has a bit of a blues feel to it. I promised to play this old Ricky Nelson song in a performance this weekend, and can't remember all the words. The first two verses are:

Well I've been waiting ever since eight/Guess my baby's got another date/Stood up, broken hearted, again/I guess she's out having a ball/Not even thinking 'bout me at all/Stood up, broken hearted, again

I figure some of you are old enough to remember this one, and a few of you guitar players may even appreciate it for James Burton's tasty Telecaster licks. Can anyone help me out with the rest of the lyrics? I'm in a hurry (only a few more hours on this computer before I go home for the weekend); can we keep the Mudcat rapid-response streak going?

Thanks, in advance. -- WS
