Can't find them on line, and the Closed Captions are not from someone who knows the lyrics, but are by an Evil Robot who can't understand a nice Southern accent!

Hit CC and see what the screen shows!!

I can't write as fast as the band sings.

I got as far as "Can't walk around", and gave up.

Unless, of course, Ralph was horribly crippled when he wrote it, in which case, my apologies to the Evil Robot!

It’s actually a Tex Logan penned song that Bill Monroe made famous. Here’s the lyrics. The verse always reminded me of Skip to my Lou

@Mike Gregory

I have some words to that song. It'll have to wait until tomorrow when I can look it up. May not be exactly the same words, but you can see which ones fit and which ones don't.

If you're having a problem with a certain passage, let us know and maybe we can clean it up for you.

Thanks.
Turns out (thanks to Mary, my Leprechaun of Love) that the version I heard, and couldn't find, was Ricky Skaggs.
She found me the chords & lyrics.
