You're The One - Honeyboy Edwards cover

0 = open, 5= barred at the 5th and 7 = barred at the 7th

I was [0] standing on the corner drunk as I could be.
I saw that girl and said, 'You're the one for me!'

Chorus: You're the [5] one.......... You're the [0] one!
You is the [7] only one baby, [5] you is the one for [0] me.

Well, I love you, baby. I'll tell you myself,
If I can't get you, I don't want nobody else!

Well, I love you baby and can't be satisfied.
By anyone else cause you're the one for me.

I was standing on the corner, drunk as I could be.
I saw that girl and said, 'You're the one for me!'

Honeyboy! You are the one Uncle. Sounds great! Good big box and a smooth cross harp.

PS: Rev.  By changing drunk to lonesome, it is good for more audiences.

Gary, most of the songs I do are older than I am.   So I guess I must still be young.  Thank you, Rev!

Thanks, Milt.  Us old cow-pokes pronounce that, "Stom-PEEED!

Nicely done, Unc!   Enjoyed this a lot!   One thing - I'm hearing most of your covers for the first time!  ;-)

Love those old tunes. Hey you've still got your Calgary Stampede hat on.

Thanks Jim and E.  E, can you relate?   I am afraid I can.

I am dedicating this one to Kid Rock.  Yup, a really fun song, but so many of the songs I like and dabble with do not suit my local audiences.  It is sure good to have you guys to play for.

Good old song there Unc. Good job.
