I have a poor (audio) quality recording of Uncle Dave doing Hill Billie Blues and I can get some of the words but it's really hard. Does anyone have that one down? It has such a great feel that song! -LG |

I have a bunch of UDM stuff stashed away, but apparently not on anything connected to this computer at the moment. I won't promise, but I'll try to look for it when I get time. At the very least, I've moved your request up to the top. Welcome back. Dale |

Chorus: Oh, tell me how long, must I wait? Lord, I get you now, or Lord I hesitate. Hello sig, what's the matter with the line, I can't talk to that girl of mine, Storm last night blew all the poles down, I can't talk to my Saro Brown. Chorus As long as a-bacon is thirty cents a pound, I'm going to eat a rabbit if I have to run him down, Ice cream cone, T-bone steak, You want to win a women get a Cadillac eight. Chorus I been in the city and I been in the town, I been in the mountains with the blues falling down, Jumped in the river and I thought I would drown, I spied a red-headed woman and I couldn't go down. Chorus Whiskey, whiskey, I'm going to let you be, The bone dry law made a Christian out of me, Going to Oklahoma to marry me a squaw, I'll have a big chief for a daddy-in-law. Chorus Got water in the ocean, there's water in the sea, Since I'm bone dry, its been water for me, Been on the Southern, the Seaboard too, It takes a Henry Ford for to shake me and you. Chorus Oh, me and my partner, we both went to bed, The jug of white lightning right under my head, When I woke up the stopper was pulled, My jug it was empty, but my partner was full. Richie |
