Papa Cried

How about another adorable pastiche from Legs Muldoon, aka Dugym Qycfyl, aka Jim Weiler? This time it's a country tune in the Merle Haggard vein and Knees naturally thought of "Mama Tried" when he conjured the music. Once again, he should have followed Dugym's directions better, but dramatic pauses for the drums are not easily programmed (at least by me).


I would have sworn that Jim gave me the words to this song back in the 20th century but the lyric sheet says it all.



BONUS COVER!

It was 1960 and Knees was changing the marquee at the Allen Theater in Farmington NM when this movie came to town. He saw it five or six times that week. It had a great theme song which he had no trouble singing; he'd been singing it all his life.
