Song DescriptionAbout a promiscuous girl, called Ellie-May.
Story Behind the SongDeliberate attempt at country/southern rock. Wanted to write something jokey. I asked Ray Brookes to lay down some blues harp, which he kindly did. Ray is on site with some superb music. Check him out.
Lyrics
Ellie-May had pig-tailed hair
Made the boys all stop and stare
She looked innocent and sweet
But chased the boys like a bitch on heat!
They all wanna play with sweet Ellie May
They all wanna play with sweet Ellie May
And when I see her walking past
Just wanna grab her by her....arm
Goodbye Buck, I'm off in my truck
Gonna give Ellie-May a damned good......time
I just wanna play with sweet Ellie-May
I just wanna play with sweet Ellie-May
Her Pa got home and found us in bed
Put a shotgun to my head
I could see the sort of shit I was in
I ran away just to save my skin
I just wanna play with sweet Ellie-May
I just wanna play with sweet Ellie-May
Her Pa came gunning after me
The rest is ancient history
A shotgun wedding. No honeymoon
Now I'm dancin' to a different tune
Now I want the World to see
There is just Ellie-May and me
But I got home just the other day
I Caught her dancin' with a feller called Ray!
GodDamnit child!
I'm gonna git my gun
You better run
