I have heard so many different versions of this great song, with varying degrees of political incorrectness. Our version seems to be somewhat sanitized for your protection, but I'm not exactly sure where Fred got this version, and not sure if he cleaned it up or heard this it that way. Seeing as there are no race issues in our version, I have to say it stands up on it's own, just talking about haves and have-nots. Either way, it's a fun song to sing and play. For what it's worth, we did it on the CD in D, but in the last years moved it to C where it is growly and funkier.

I'm not even sure what list I'm replying to or who's on it, or if I'll ever see it again, but hello to anyone I know! My website for now.... http://NailThatCatfish.tripod.com
