Thread Name: Lyr Req: V8 Blues
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: V8 Blues
I pieced this together from a couple of sound samples:I got so tired of comin' in late,
Went right out and bought a new V-8.
CHORUS: I got the V-8 blues. I got the V-8 blues.
Shake-a-rattle an' ramble. I got the V-8 blues.
Started down the road for a little ride.
That new V-8 was my joy and pride.
[Took] a little drink and it gave me such a nerve,
Shot it up to 90 when I started 'round the curve.
Round that curve goin' lickety-split,
Met another fella comin'. How we hit!
Sung by The Three Tobacco Tags on the various-artists album "Hillbilly Blues," ASV/Living Era CD #5361, 2001.
