I've posted a few songs that began with MY version of BIAB looking for collaborators. This one happened in the reverse order. Jay Lindsey (of Mr. Jay fame) sent this "backing" to me. The progression was from a popular song he wanted me to try to warble over. (Bonus if you can name the song from the progression...I can't remember), For whatever reason I didn't feel moved to sing that song. Instead, I started writing after a few bars played on his demo.

I enlisted a couple of extra singers (Karl Cutruff and Trev Brown) and turned it into a party. Trev wrote his verse, I wrote the rest. Jay joined again at the end with some extra guitar. It was almost as much fun putting it together as it sounds.

My Baby is good lookin', just as pretty as can be.
She makes up for all of that by being awfully sweet to me.
My Baby love me.

Well I've been high and I've been low.
And I've been places one young man ain't s'posed to go.
And I've been rich, and I've been po.
And I've done things that she don't even want to know.
My Baby love me.

I've been stoned. Been misused.
Burned the candle on both ends and lit the fuse.
I've lived easy and I've lived hard.
Took out a loan to pay three-quarters of my dues.
My Baby Love me.

TREV: I've been glad, I've been sad.
Felt more feelings than I ever knew I had.
I've loved fast, I've loved hard
When it comes to lovin' her I got it bad.
My Baby love me.

KARL: Well I've been up and I've been down
I've been on the rail rode out of seven towns
And I've been lost and ain't been found
I've been prone to moan but never made a sound.
My Baby love me.

My Baby love me. My Baby love me.
And he heart is bigger than her feet.
My Baby love me. She truly love me.
I've thrown her curves but she ain't never missed a beat.
My Baby love me.

My Baby love me. My Baby love me.
I love her truly too dude, and that's no lie.
My Baby love me. She truly love me.
'Scuse me while I stop, break down and cry.
My Baby Love me.

I'd love nothing better than to be able to hang around and at least try to keep up with you good folks here, but all that will have to wait some longer. In the meantime, Happy New Year and keep the faith.
