Alright Folsum
Thank you very much
I wanna do another song here
featuring a harmonica
And then I wanna
Get the stool there and sit
down and do some
Slow ballad type songs that
We want to do for this album
And especially for you
What did I do with my list over there
My idiot sheet
How you doin', Shirley?
How did you like the song?
You need to to leave a rating.
