Kenny Ray Horton: Music

• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)
• MP3 short clip, lo-fi play (modem)

I sat down one day to work on some new material for the band 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 in rehearsal 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
