about

A Crawdaddy original... some pumpin' New Orleans funk featuring some sweet Hammond cushion courtesy of Big Easy B3 master Vaughn Smith. This recording is basically my Fat Chance band from the mid-90's, roadhouse raunchy around the edges, reasonably refined at the core. The song is dedicated to the late Pete Doakley (back row middle) who plays a pig-squealing tenor sax on this track.

lyrics

The first time that I saw her was in a very dark horse...I was there with my people, we couldn't talk much of course...White T shirt and jeans knocked me offa my feet...The way she talked and she moved, made me feel so complete...I got a real strong feelin', there was an energy flow..Well did she get the same vibe, I thought I never would know...I really wanted to reach her, but then her sister arrived...I told myself that this meeting, was way too short-lived..Well it's a real fat chance, I'd meet a woman like this...I had to give her my business card, but I wanted a kiss...I waved goodbye, and walked on out the door..I remember thinkin', I'll never see that girl no more...A half a year later, there was a resurrection...She called to sing in the band, I didn't make no damn connection...But her voice was familiar, well did we meet once before?...You're that fine young lady, from the Rockin' Horse...We talked on the phone, about songs that we knew...There was some common ground between the country and the blues...When I saw her again, she hit me like a ton a lead...Things happen for a reason, she's all up in my head...Chorus
