FORTY UP AND PLUMB
Recorded by: Wayne Raney
Now I come from the country
But boy, I'm a-tellin' you
We treat our neighbors better
Than you city slickers do
One met me on the street one day
And he started pokin' fun
When he asked me on which street I lived
I said "Forty Up And Plumb."
He said "Where?...."
CHORUS
Well, I said "Forty miles from town
And plumb back in the sticks
Out where we raise gentlemen
Even though you call us hicks
Now you may think I'm ignorant
But boy, we sure have fun
Away out in the country
On Forty Up And Plumb."
Well, I went into a bar one night
To have myself a ball
I ordered a Double Zombie
That's the last that I recall
The bartender wanted to take me home
And he asked me where I'(wa)s from
I looked at him thru bloodshot eyes
Said "Forty Up And Plumb."
He said "Where?..."
CHORUS
Well, he threw me out into the street
And boy, I blew my top
Somebody said "You better quiet-en down!"
I didn't know he was a Cop
He said "You drunk, I'll take you home
Just where did you come from?"
I shoved him back, yelled in his face
"Said Forty Up And Plumb."
He said "Where?"
CHORUS
