Charlie Daniels Band, The - Trudy Lyrics
Call up Trudy on the telephone
Send a letter in the mail
Tell her I'm hung up in Dallas
And they won't let me outta this jail
Tell her I'm just about to lose my mind
Worried about old Johnny Lee Walker
And the girl I left behind
Now Johnny Lee Walker was a card mechanic
Had a hand for trouble and a eye for cash
Luckiest man in Dallas County
He had a gold watch chain and a black mustache
And he loved his whiskey and he loved his women
Kept a big fine fancy townhouse in Dallas
And a hotel suite in New Orleans
Carried a switchblade knife in his left hip pocket
And a .44 hog leg up under his coat
Cut you down in a New York minute
If he catch you cheating that was all she wrote
So call up Trudy on the telephone
Send her a letter in the mail
Tell her I'm hung up in Dallas
And they won't let me outta this jail
If she asks you how I'm fairing
Tell her I'm just about to lose my mind
Worried about old Johnny Lee Walker
And the girl I left behind
I just got to town last Friday evening
Sure as hell didn't mean to stay
I was on my way back to Louisiana
Had a powerful thirst and six months pay
I met a peroxide blonde in a bar on D-ville
I was flying high and feeling mean
Poured down a bottle and a half of red eye
I dropped 35 dollars in the slot machine
And the boys in the back was dealing 7 card
I set down and won me a 110
I was raking in chips like Grant took Richmond
Till big Johnny Lee come a strolling in
He ripped off the table like a 707
Pretty soon he done won all of my bread
I accused him of cheating he reached for a pistol
I grabbed a chair and went upside of his head
Then I took off a running like a motorcycle
Heard the bullets whining and sirens wail
But it took half the cops in Dallas County
Just to put one coonass boy in jail
So call up Trudy on the telephone
Send her a letter in the mail
Tell her I'm hung up in Dallas
And they won't let me outta this jail
And if she asks you how I'm fairing
Tell her I'm just about to lose my mind
Worried about old Johnny Lee Walker
And the girl I left behind

Charlie Daniels Band, The Trudy Comments
a lot of people can't walk and chew gum at the same time, but Charlie chews gum, plays a guitar and sings all in one.
Chew hard on that gum. Like he is trying to kick a habit.
TENNESSEE'S 2 FINEST DANIELS CHARLIE AND JACK, AMERICAS BEST!
Trudy you finally got a Song in your Name even got your Main Man Johnny Walker in it. xo
Being a coonass, I always play this song when traveling through Dallas.
Love watching at his concerts
This and Jr. Hank's whiskey bent.... are 2 songs I've listened to at least once a day for about 30 yrs
My husband & I drove truck for the CDB for 5 years, most wonderful man, best band on the planet! I love you Charlie! me & Frank! oxoxox
Just don’t look the same no Tommy Crain,Still great music but just doesn’t look the same.I remember Vol Jams with Ted Nugent thinking that old boy could be right up from with Ted but stayed in the back like a gentlemen.
Sizden oyrenilesi cok amma cok seyler var.
Best show I ever saw was in memephis in about 82, outdoor,perfect may afternoon and they started with this one,later gary Rossington came out for assistance in devil went down to mgeorgia to close the show.
I want this played at my funeral!!!#
Man, I really REALLY love this song!!! I'm not particularly fond of the way they are doing it here... It's like he is rushing through it, and just talking.. it's almost like he isn't "singing" it. ... I'm sure a lot of it has to do with age.. I just have hard time accepting that one of my hero's has gotten old. Been listening to CDB for 35years!! Makes for AWESOME camping/shooting/drinking/bar hopping/boating/ATV'ing music.
NOPE THE BEST IN GOSPEL&COUNTRY BUT I THINK IS APPROPRIATE FOR WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF TRUMP DON'T LIVE UP TO HIS PROMISE I HOPE SIMPSON BROS. BRICK COMPANY HAS BRICKS FOR SALE TO THROW AS THEY DID IN CUMMINGS GA. ONE TIME
CDB, it don't get no better !! Sure was nice to see ol' Taz's big black hat in this clip !! R.I.P. buddy
I just love ol Charlie....
Nothin' but the best. They don't make em like this any more. Fear the beard!
OLE RIVERSIDE, LA; with LA. EXPRESS. RIP Wayne, Dennis, and A.T. the pumpkin eating fool!!
Took half the cops in Dallas county just to put one Coonass boy in jail!
Cootass boy. I believe.
What's a "cootass?"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coonass
@Mark Williamson One 'a Trudy Daniels's boys in jail
@Steve Rowloff Coonass is a guy from Louisiana.
I blown up 2 sets of speakers to this song.
I played this song so loud my neighbors threw a brick through my window so they could hear it better.
Freaking AWESOME!!
CDB!!Met Charlie twice in my life.Once on the road and again at a dayton concert.great song!
Just Love their music!
I was there, Awesome show!!!!!
My all time Favorite CDB!
I looooove CDB !! Sure is good to see "that big black hat" behind the keys in this clip !! R.I.P. Taz !!
Phat Bassline, the real deal. FONKY!
GREAT SONG!
Oh, hell yeah. CDB is on YouTube.
Country boogie at its pinnacle. Fire On The Mountain is on my "pick 5 for life" list.
Agreed man...and I was born in 83..
He puts on one of the best live shows you will ever see!
Scott Masters absolutely. Been to many of his shows. Each unique but always extremely good.
I've been to 5, CDB nails it dead center each time
Seen him 3 times
Nice and happy music really like it!
sweet tunes
great tune !
Jamming
One of the best..
