I hope I have this song in the right genre. That's me doing the picking on lead guitar. All the songs I have posted so far are on my Universal Love CD.
Critique all you want, I can take it.
Me and Tuck © Eddie Rhoades 2010
Me and my brother Tuck, had run slap out of luck
We were fixing to hitch-hike in the rain
Two red-heads drove by , one gave Tuck the eye,
they slammed on the brakes and stopped in the emergency lane
I kinda grinned at Tuck and said “it ‘s ‘bout time we changed our luck”
and we proceeded to get into their car,
one said “my name’s Irene, this here’s my sister Maxine,
and we were wondering if you two was gonna go far?”
I don’t know, how far we’re gonna go, I’ve never been this way before
*And it’s a lightning flashing, thunder crashing, lip-smacking, old fashioned,
kind of love affair
regular lead
Traveling down the road, do a little do-se-do,
change your partner don’t you dance too slow
Me and Irene, Tuck and sister Maxine,
sometimes we stopped just to say hello
It’s daylight in San Pedro, dark in Mexico,
down the coast and around the world we go
*And it’s a lightning flashing, thunder crashing, lip-smacking, old fashioned,
kind of love affair
Last time I saw Irene, last time I saw Maxine
they were standing on a platform waiting for a train
Their old car was shot, she give it all she got
Me and Tuck both singing *“Baby ain’t it a shame”
Ending lead
