Hitch Me To Your Buggy
(probably) by Will Welldon, Circa 1925

You can hitch me to a buggy and drive me like I was a mule. (x2)
But I'm here to tell you, woman, I ain't nobody's fool.

Well I may be right - and I may be wrong. (x2)
You got to treat me right or I'm as good as gone.

I'm gonna buy me a bulldog to watch you while you sleep. (x2)
Gonna keep my baby from makin' her midnight creep.

You said she loved me. I don't believe you told the truth. (x2)
MMMMmmmmmm Mmmm Mmm

You can hitch me to a buggy and drive me like I was a mule. (x2)
But I'm here to tell you, woman, I ain't nobody's fool.

Comment by Uncle John on December 18, 2016 at 2:53am: Thanks, Jim. I don't know on the sound other than I have not used a piezo on vid for a good while. I still like a good piezo.

Comment by Jim Morris on December 18, 2016 at 2:48am: Excellent Unc! The git, the harp and the vocals all came through great. Don't know if you got a new camera? Or is Vimeo that much clearer than yt.

Comment by Uncle John on December 18, 2016 at 1:44am: Thanks, Erasmo, Rick, Clock, Papa D and Wes.

Rick, I am glad you are liking the jug band music and Noah Lewis. It is a great direction to go for a lot of blue lovers. I think especially so if they like harmonica. I think Wes likes that style too.

Clock, their are Amish in eastern Iowa. The whole horse and buggy thing. I saw a couple last summer, right down the highway. Handsome, prancing horses. They don't need an old mule like me.

Comment by Papa D on December 17, 2016 at 5:32pm: Nice job Uncle John...

Comment by Rick Alexander on December 17, 2016 at 3:53pm: Nice Uncle John!

I've really gotten into this music since you pointed it out in a comment you had made to me a few months ago about Noah Lewis. I hadn't heard of him before that.

Comment by Uncle John on December 17, 2016 at 1:50pm: This song is from the Memphis Jug Band collection. I love that jug band music. Done alone, I did it more blues style.

This is my first time using Vimeo to upload a vid. Seems okay. For some reason, I can not upload to youtube.
