Now, way down south where I was born
They raise good good greens and corn
Sweet potato, and black-eyed peas
Green tomato, Mama, and pecan trees
But them ----- sure smell good
People smell 'em all 'roung the neighborhood
Soft and easy, they're good and greasy
Oh Lord, I love -----
I'm crazy 'bout them
(Ate some this morning. Mouth smack a week after eating them.)

Now, little girl, don't you tell me what your mama don't 'low
I want some greens anyhow
Quick as I eat 'em, sugar, I'll be gone
Mama'll never know we slipped 'em on
But them -----, sure was good
----- I'd eat 'em all if I could
Soft and easy, they're good and greasy
Hey, Lord, I love -----
I'm crazy 'bout -----
(Ah, glory hallelujah!) I thought I was eating some then. You know where I eat 'em? Whoo! you hear me chewing on them?)

Now, Miss, you can cook them lim-o beans
You cook something that I never have seen
But when you fix up your table for me
Fix up some of them good good greens
But them ----- sure smell good
Oh, Lord, I'd eat 'em all if I could
Soft and easy, they're good and greasy

When Dave did the Vegas stint with the Mambo Slammers / Edgar Winter he played Free Ride. One of the best songs of the night.

"I think she likes me" by a little ol' Boston blues band called... "Treat her Right".

Duke Tomatoe's "If I Hadn't Been High"

For DLR:

**WARF** · 03-09-2009, 12:50 AM

Duran Duran - Serious

**Andy Taylor** · 03-09-2009, 03:55 AM

Serious and Secrets would sound good together on the same album.

Here's a cover song VH should do on the next album: "King of the Hill" by the DLR Band.

AWESOME DG

Ever hear I GOT A GUN by THR?

Mark Sandman went on to sing for MORPHINE...but passed away a few years back

Get back to basics with a Kinks cover "All Day & All Of The Night"... has all the elements of You Really Got Me, of course, some may argue ADAAOTN is too similar to YRGM, but it's classic VH... Ed could tear up the guitar parts, Dave adds swagger, only thing up in the air is the backing vocals... but as many folks say, I'd prefer 12 or 14 glorious originals, possibly even a double album with all the material Ed supposedly has written over the years...

That is all.

Icon.

Fuck the covers .

Gimme 10 tracks of asskickin VH!!!

**Fairwrning** · 03-11-2009, 05:31 PM

I've always thought they should have done "kicked in the teeth" by AC/DC..Roth's delivery and Ed's guitar work would sound awesome with a little VH twist to it.
