Lyrics

Keep on truckin mama, truckin all my blues away, keep on truckin mama, truckin both night and day
I heard the rooster say to the hen, I ain't had no lovin since I don't know when
I heard the bullfrog say to the snake, the more you wiggle the more I can take
If you been doin what I think you been doin you can't do that round here
What's that smell, smells like fish but oh lordy, lordy what a dish
I heard the little dog say to the cow, I know why but I don't know how

	nice licks and singing This tune is full of melodic character, you bring out a lot of melody in your voice and texture to boot. This is a fun h hear ! :) Good going, like those low note textures as well. Check out my latest song called Little Drummer Boy Variations

	there is nothing quite like some soulful self assured blues ....and u deliver quite nicely thank you!......i can imagine some hobo's around the campfire boiling some leather shoes and singin the blues.....and also a saloon singer with a broken piano who picks up the guitar and sings his heart out.....and also.......ehhehhehhe Check out my latest song called Heros( aclarke/mcboy)

	So laid back its horizontal! So laid back its horizontal! Front porch style, can hear the crickets chirping (well at least I hope thats what they're up to) and can see the moon in the clear sky. Great fun tune Tom. Neil Check out my latest song called Lost In Translation (w Mike Watkins)

So laid back its horizontal!
Thanks Neil, I do take great pride in that concept of a front porch picker.
Someone who is not great but when friends drop by can always whip out
some tunes for the folks. My only regret is that I didn't get to retire to a ranch
house out in the country with a substantial porch. I do have one on this house
but is very small and I am in suburbia crammed together with neighbor's
dogs barking and siren's wailing.

	So laid back its horizontal! I guess you could call that ambience! Check out my latest song called Lost In Translation (w Mike Watkins)

	Irresistable Love it! I immediately started singing counterpart (that's my truest test as to whether I like a song -- when I can't resist singing). This is just a really fun, traditional piece. Check out my latest song called Nellie G.

bronco	bronco said 1424 days ago (January 2nd, 2006)
	Irresistable It is a fun tune isn't it. I was embarrassed to put it in the explicit category because compared to the rap, etc. this is almost a children's tune. Anyway, sing it some more and I will be harmonizing over here. Check out my latest song called Strange Feeling

	Just the Title Got me thinking of Eddie Kendricks (and Robert Crumb), not Hot Tuna. :) Good solid performance here of this oldie.

	said 1424 days ago (January 2nd, 2006)
	Just the Title Now that I think about it, Crumb would probably prefer this one to Kendricks's soul tune. --- Ars longa, vita brevis.

bronco	bronco said 1423 days ago (January 3rd, 2006)
	Just the Title Hey Mungo, I'm not familiar with either of those versions. i will see if iTunes has them. Lot's of folks have done this tune through the years. The first time I heard it was a nameless cute girl was singing it in Yellowstone Park one summer that I worked there. I was impressed both with the song and the girl. Nuff said! Check out my latest song called Strange Feeling

	Just the Title If you listen to the Kendricks one, you'll recognize it if you were listening to radio 30 years ago but it's obviously not the same tune. :) --- Ars longa, vita brevis.

FEEL	FEEL said 1423 days ago (January 3rd, 2006)
	Classic Folk this is a very nice folk tune. It reminds me of when my family use to gather around an old folk song book and start singing. Thanks for the memories. The lyrics weren't quite that way though. Regards, John nice pick'n Check out my latest song called Pigs Fly
