lyrics

Had me a gal as smart as they come
Never in my life have I felt so dumb
Had me a woman as wild as a rose
When she took to leavin' she took my clothes
I aint gonna cry, I aint gonna sulk
Cos wimmen like you I can find 'em in bulk

A dozen for a dime just ain't worth my time
I'd rather wind up lonely than lowdown
I thought you were the one
But I'll be a son of a gun
If you ain't just one of too many to count

I thought she was the finest around
But so did every fool in this one horse town
To that woman I gave my heart
But she told me it was her or my guitar
I ain't gonna cry, I ain't gonna sulk
Cos wimmen like you I can find 'em in bulk

A dozen for a dime just ain't worth my time
I'd rather wind up lonely than lowdown
I thought you were the one
But I'll be a son of a gun
If you ain't just one of too many to count

She drank my booze to the bottom
And tell me I got a drinkin' problem
She told me she wanted to take my name
But that's the only thing she didn't want me to change
I ain't gonna cry, I ain't gonna sulk
Cos wimmen like you I can find 'em in bulk

A dozen for a dime just ain't worth my time
I'd rather wind up lonely than lowdown
I thought you were the one
But I'll be a son of a gun
If you ain't just one of too many to count
If you aint just one of them too manys to count

about

Boots & The Hoots Drumheller, Alberta

"Hardcore, traditional, songs of leavin', drinkin', and losin', but mainly drinkin', all enhanced by a tight rhythm section and plenty of of steel guitar. " - Country Music People Magazine 5 Star Review of "III"

" Wittily crafted, downtempo western melodies, a cactus in the ass of modern, power-ballad country crooners that forgot the music of their grandfathers." -EXCLAIM! Magazine ... more

I happened upon Tuba Skinny and Erika L buskin’ in New Orleans on YouTube! I have Loved them ever since and play their albums daily! As a musician and band member in Canada, I can say that Tuba Skinny and their soulful renditions touched my soul in ways that have uplifted my life. We in the “great White North” can only dream of making New Orleans jazz like T S. Long Live Tuba Skinny and may their music become world wide for the enjoyment of all!! Davey1
