truckin' my blues away
Keep on truckin' mama,
truckin' my blues away
Here you come mama big as sin,
tell what you been doin'
by the shape you're in
So keep on truckin' mama,
truckin' my blues away
If you been doin' what I think you been doin' baby,
can't do that 'round here
You been doin' what I think you been doin' baby,
can't do that 'round here
Here you come mam big as hell,
tell what you been doin' by way you smell
So keep on truckin' mama,
truckin' my blues away
What's that smell like fish pretty baby,
I really would like to know
Tell me What's that smell like fish oh mama,
I really would like to know
That ain't puddin' baby ain't no pie,
it's the stuff that I got you by
So keep on truckin' mama,
truckin' my blues away
Now yes you gotta leave this mornin',
get your yas yas outta my door
Now yes you gotta leave this mornin',
get your yas yas outta my door
Ashes to ashes mama,
dust to dust,
what-cha gonna do when that damn thing rusts
So keep on truckin' mama,
truckin' my blues away

Still got it. come to think of it. Are you sure it relates to the band? Hot Tuna was also a small surf clothing brand in Australia that was eventually bought out by K-Mart I think. I gotta say I don't know that I would particularly want to be associated with either the clothing or this song. |

A little drunk last night I'm afraid, hence may harsh comments. It was not directed at this ditty in particular, but to it and the four tunes preceeding it!!! |
