Kenny Ray Horton: Music
Papa Come Quick (Jodi and Chico)
I sat down one day to work on some new material and after working on stuff for a little while, my mind started to wonder. I had been listening to some Bonnie Raitt and this tune was on. When I started messing with it, I ended up with this little re-creation. We’ve had a lot of fun with this thing and I’m looking forward to playing it out for all of you!
Chorus
Papa come quick Jodi’s gone to the city What’re we gonna do Now that Jodi’s gone She left a note on the TV Papa it’s a pity What’re we gonna do Now that Jodi’s gone Verse 1
Mama’s been cryin In the kitchen since morning She cried right through As the World Turns I seen it myself And papa it’s a pity What’re we gonna do Now that Jodi’s gone G Chorus
Gas up the old Ford Get out the roadmap They gotta head start About a half a day Load up the shotgun Put it in the gunrack Jodi’s with Chico Down in east LA Verse 2
It must’ve been a wild-eyed Silver tongue schemer A girl like Jodi Don’t think for herself Him and that Harley And his damned jalapeño Smokin that stuff’ll Make you hurt yourself Breakdown
Papa come quick Papa come quick Papa come quick Papa come on Chorus G Chorus Chorus
