W. Lee O'Daniel And The Light Crust Dough Boys

As we listened to the Opry
When I was just a kid
My daddy talked through saturday's
Them crazy things he did
He said this is a story
How your Mamma first met me
And the going thing was Texas swing
Before Bob Wills was king

Was in the town of Tulsa
About thirty years ago
At Cain's Academy down
In old Oklahoma
Well the dust was blowing
But the music was right
And W. Lee O'Daniel
Played it all night

For The Light Crust Dough Boys
And W. Lee O'Dan
We drove eighty miles
Through that blowing sand
My '37 Chevy
Was shooting steam
Coming up them hill
It just ceased up on me

And I wouldn't miss a thing
On saturday night
We're all in the chevy's
In that Detroit light
I can hear that music
In my ears
I was ready to go
And I was shifting them gears

So your mamma passed the biscuits
And gave me her hand
Knew she was my honey
And she knew I was her man
We listenned to the fiddler
He was making it sing
And heard them pretty notes
Of that guitar ring

I had no trouble
Was fealing no pain
That moon shine whiskey
And your mamma in my van
And The Light Crust Dough Boys
And old happy Dan
Played us a song
We'll never forget

At the time they were tough
And money was tight
But I didn't care
On saturday night
Had no money
But I could sang a blues
I felt like dancing
Down in my shoes

Was in the town of Tulsa
By thirty years ago
At Cain's Academy down
In the old Oklahoma
When the dust was blowing
But music was right
And W. Lee O'Daniel
Played it all night

And W. Lee O'Daniel
Played it all night

Play it, Dan
