I got a little girl she 5 foot 2 Stands on a chair and hollers woo woo She do the too tall boogie x2 Boogie woogie all night long Hey little girl I got good news I can love you Sunday and Monday too (chorus) I’m six feet standin’ seven lyin’ down I sleep in the kitchen with my feet in the hall (ch) I’ll love you all summer, winter, fall I’ll love you just as long as I am tall (chorus) My little girl says I’m too tall Well I ain’t tall just long that’s all (chorus) She like me tall she like me sweet She like me best in my stockin’ feet (chorus)

I ain’t so worried I ain’t so troubled And now my mind don’t seem so muddled Ain’t gonna worry ‘bout no loose ends Things ‘gone take care of themselves This time around I’ll speak the truth Anyway got nothin’ to lose I’ll be happy time will tell Things ‘gone take care of themselves On my own me alone Gonna let the river flow I’m gonna try to live a clean life Not get so lonesome on my mind I’ll find a place and look around Gonna be happy any day above ground Ain’t gonna worry ‘bout no loose ends Things ‘gone take care of themselves

Head uptown on a northbound line Got to see that little girl of mine Hitch a ride in a rundown ford Do Anything To Get Your Love x2 Start to rain and start to blow Wind only make this fire grow Spark is now a thunderstorm Do Anything to get your love x2 Never knew a love could be so strong Wind or rain it drive me on Transfer onto a brokedown bus Do Anything To Get Your Love x2 Walkin’ walkin’ all night long You’re sweet memory pull me on Stream is now a ragin’ flood Do Anything To Get Your Love x4

Summers were long when I was young We played all day in the river and mud Down to the cutoff shootin’ carp Cross the black bridge before it got dark The water was deep swirlin’ like a flood Black as coal chill your blood No matter how you try and scrub You can never wash off Pecatonica Mud My dear old ma never shed a tear When we come home wet smilin’ ear to ear We had no suit and we had no pool We didn’t fess up but I think she knew No matter how you try and scrub You can never wash off Pecatonica Mud Now old man Kurth no one could tame He had that mud runnin’ through his veins His son Jim was my best friend Lived a block away on the river’s bend He did his duty and he didn’t complain When they shipped him off on an army plane He died by a river in a foreign land Fightin’ a war he didn’t understand He died knee deep in the swamp and crud But you can never wash off Pecatonica Mud Now the years have passed and I moved away But I still come back stand in the clay Remember the days when we were young When we played all day in the river and mud No matter how you try and scrub You can never wash off Pecatonica Mud

Blues, stay away from me Blues, why don't you let me be? I don't know why you keep on haunting me Love was never meant for me True love was never meant for me It seems somehow, we never can agree Tears so many I can't see Years don't mean a thing to me Time goes by and still, I can't be free

Well, the nine pound hammer is a little too heavy It's for my size, honey, for my size I'm goin' on the mountain, gotta see my baby An' I ain't comin' back, Lord, I ain't comin' back Oh, roll on, buddy, don't you roll so slow How can I roll when the wheels won't go? It's a long way to Harlan an' a long way to Hazard Just to get a little brew, just to get a little brew When I'm long gone you can make my tombstone Out of number nine coal out of number nine coal Oh, roll on, buddy, don't you roll so slow How can I roll when the wheels won't go?

Yakety Axe 02:47
Poverty stricken but still i'm stickin' To things i know to be facts One day it's feathers and the next day chicken While i'm pickin' my yakety axe Everybody says that i never will get far Keepin' out of work by pickin'this guitar Livin' on a shoestring puttin' off things Like a shave and a haircut Money don't matter as long as i scatter A little bit of happiness around If people keep grinnin' i figure i'm winnin' With my good ole yakety sound City slickers go around turnin' up their noses Countin' their greenbacks smellin' their roses But i wouldn't quit my yakety axe Even for a t-bone I'm confessin' i never took a lesson All of my notes is a matter of guessin' Hopin' they'll come out in some sort of manner That'll make a yakety sound If you get in the mood and your feet start pattin' You feel a little groovy and your hands start clappin' Then i've done what i've wanted to do a way back I got you diggin' my yakety axe

Mrs. Collins weeped, Mrs. Collins moaned To see her son Louis leavin' home The angels laid him away The angels laid him away They laid him six feet under the clay The angels laid him away Mrs. Collins weeped, Mrs. Collins moaned To see her son Louis leavin' home The angels laid him away They laid him six feet under the clay The angels laid him away Oh, kind friends, oh, ain't it hard? To see poor Louis in a new graveyard The angels laid him away Oh, Bob shot once and Louis shot too Shot poor Collins, shot him through and through The angels laid him away The angels laid him away The angels laid him away They laid him six feet under the clay The angels laid him away Oh, when they heard that Louis was dead All the people they dressed in red The angels laid him away The angels laid him away

about

Richard Wiegel Madison, Wisconsin

TO HAVE A CD SENT TO YOU SEE SHIPPING BELOW.
"STILL WATERS" is an all acoustic instrumental CD available for a free download.
"Magic Wind" is my most personal CD. After I wrote 'She Liked The Wind', I realized I had written several songs about a failed relationship that included or referenced the wind, and her. I think they make up a collection of songs that fit together and tell a story.
