Old Blues by unknown writer and recording artist. Do you know who it was?

Tell me, baby. What's on your mind?
You don't do nothin' but keep me crying.
Thing about you babe, you can be so nice and sweet.
But you laugh and you grin with every man you meet.

What goes up, must come down.
Seen you last night, you was cruisin town.
Tell me, baby, what's on your mind?
And if you don't want me, please don't waste my time.

Told you once, ain't tellin' you no more.
If you don't want me, just tell me so.
I can't stand being dogged around.
Because you laugh and you grin with every man in town.

Dry your eyes, crying won't make me stay.
Aligator tears just drive me away.
I can't stand being dogged around.
Because you laugh and you grin with every man in town.

Thanks, Clarky.  The thumb thing is a bit of a bad habit, but it feels natural and has good control.  :D

Excellent Uncle John, your voice is as good as ever.  I notice you strum with your thumb, I think Tom Waits plays guitar like that too.  Pretty unique style!

Thanks, Ambrose.  Yup just a hint of BS brown sepia.  At all times.

A fine performance Uncle J. Great Song! Do I detect a hint of sepia in your filming?

Thanks Vinnie and Brian.  There is NOTHING wrong with a man cross-harping.
