I've heard someone sing it someplace---maybe Rob Parker ?? Where can I find the lyrics ? Thanks, Bill.

It's on the "Swing and Other Things" CD with Buddy Emmons and Ray Pennington. This is the one with the vocals. Rob probably did it too as he was great at covering these tunes.

As to the lyrics, maybe an online search from some of the lyrics sites. If you can't find them, I can write 'em down for you.

Bill....Ray Pennington did it on one of the Swing Shift CD's . There are two versions , one just instrumental and one with Ray's voice . Dewayne Bowman used to do it and sang his you know what off . Prolly my favorite song that Pennington did...I absolutely loved his voice . He got a presence that's very hard to replicate . He didn't need a pitch corrector either .

Bill, thanks for bringing this up. As a result, I got out that album and listened to all of it again. It's one of my favorite Pennington/Emmons recordings.

The Buddy Emmons tone is staggering and delicious.
