Clyde Lyrics

Waylon Jennings

Clyde plays electric bass,
Plays it with finese and grace
Set on the porch, ain't got no shoes
Pickin' the bass and singin' the blues

Misery loves company,
This ole dog sings harmony,
Tamborine tied to his tail,
You can hear him moan, you can hear him wail,

Jody baby, she got a dollar,
Down the road, you can hear her holler,
Git up Clyde, we got things to do,
That ole dog can sing the blues,

He don't move, he don't flinch
Clyde, he don't move an inch,
Set on the porch, ain't got no shoes,
Pickin' the bass and singin' the blues

Clyde plays electric bass,
Plays it with finese and grace
Set on the porch, ain't got no shoes
Pickin' the bass and singin' the blues
