Gosdin, Vern - Set 'em Up Joe Lyrics






They got a vintage Victrola 1951
Full of my favorite records that I grew up on
They got ole Hank and Lefty and there's B24
Set 'em up Joe, and play 'Walking The Floor'

Set 'em up Joe, and play 'Walking The Floor'
I'm gonna spend the night like every night before
Playin' ET and I'll play him some more
I've gotta have a shot of them old troubadours

Set 'em up Joe, and play 'Walking The Floor'
Set 'em up Joe, and play 'Walking The Floor'

All my neon neighbors they like what I play
'Cause they've heard it every night since you've walked away
Every day they replace old B24
'Cause every night I run a needle through 'Walking The Floor'

Every night I run a needle through 'Walking The Floor'
I'm gonna spend the night like every night before
Playin' ET and I'll play him some more
I've gotta have a shot of them old troubadours

Set 'em up Joe, and play 'Walking The Floor'
Set 'em up Joe, and play 'Walking The Floor'
I said set 'em up Joe, and play 'Walking The Floor'

    I hate to jump on the bandwagon and bash today's country but it's just total trash ..... No melody, no tune no lyrics except repeated words, no story, doesn't make you feel anything except sorry you wasted time ...... I could listen to these new songs 10 times and not be able to repeat the melody or the words ..... I could listen to I Walk the Line for the first time once, and sing it to you word for word, melody included...

    The voice was the perfect name for this man. This is when country music was real. When it told a story and had meaning these legends sang with style and class and sang from the heart. Unlike this bro country bullshit they play today.
