Raitt, Bonnie - Papa Come Quick (Jody And Chino) Lyrics






Papa come quick, Jody's gone to the city
What we gonna do now that Jody's gone
She left a note on the TV and Papa it's a pity
What we gonna do now that Jody's gone.

Mama's been cryin in the kitchen since mornin
She cried right through As The World Turns
I seen it myself and Papa it's a bitch'n
Let's haul ass before the baby gets burned.

Gas up the old Ford, get out the road map
They got a head start about half a day
Load up the shotgun, put it in the gunrack
Jody's with Chico down in East LA.

It must've been that wild-eyed, silver-tongued schemer
A girl like Jody don't think for herself.
Him and that Harley and his damn Jalapena
Smokin that stuff'll make you hurt yourself.

Papa come quick
Papa come quick
Papa come quick
Papa come on.

[Repeat 1st verse]

Gas up the old Ford, get out the road map
They got a head start about a half a day
Stop at the Mobil, pump up the flat wheel
Jody & Chico and his ding dang deal.

    Love this tune and have played it for years but cowboy chord style E7 A B7 and D7 hammering the major 3rd and the 6th on the E lick, D7 at the 3rd fret, great tune. Love Bonnie and especially Jon Cleary and the Gents.

  13. i.... ....

    I used to play this for my daughter when she was very young. I just received a letter from her and one thing she told me is that this song has been in her head for a couple of days and it makes her think of me. She hasn't heard it in over 15 years, but she wrote the words to it almost word for word. She's almost 31 now:) Thank you to Billy, Bonnie and Sunny.

    Bonnie you're my idol!!

    Papa Come Quick ranks up there with Dixie Chicken ~Love Song ~ 3 Steps and Queens of Hearts as any in the lyric category'...

  17. s.... w....

    Too soon....

  25. A.... R....

    Great tune.

  26. S.... ....

    Bonnie and Alison together -- how much cooler than this does it get, folks?

  27. S.... U....

    I've tried googling it a bunch of times and can't find anything except the lyrics. It seems fairly simple, just one five and then the four for the chorus, but I can't seem to get the timing right.

  28. B.... V....

    Written by Chip Taylor-Ricky Hirsch-Billy Vera.

  29. T.... M....

    I can't seem to find tab on this song. I googled it and nothing panned out.
    Any tips?

  30. k.... ....

    Bonnie's about the only human being on earth who can completely upstage Alison Krauss. That's not to take anything away from Alison, who's superb in her own right, but nobody can share a stage with Bonnie.

  31. A.... Z....

    This groove is irresistable.

  32. D.... P....

    She originally recorded it on "Luck Of The Draw".

  33. D.... C....

    where then? I can't find it, only lyrics.

  34. o.... ....

    Love that redhead...lol

  35. m.... ....

    Loving this! A delightful friend sent this song to me...thanks Bob! So happy to have amazing songs like this to listen to. Bonnie, and Alison are brilliant! (*_*)

  36. S.... R....

    Just google for-Papa come quick -tabs....you´ll find 100s:-)

  37. B.... V....

    To eblunot: My guitar player, Ricky Hirsch made up that lick by tuning his guitar to an open G chord. I made him go over to Bonnie's house and teach it to her, as she wanted to play it herself on the recording.
    Billy Vera

    B.... V....

    Billy Vera why don’t we hear more about Billy ?

  38. J.... G....

    This is RAD!

  39. r.... ....

    awesome
    2 great ladys

  40. S.... C....

    One of my favorite Bonnie Raitt songs, definitely one of my favs off of the Luck Of The Draw album. I was at this live recording. I remember Bonnie kept having to redo the main guitar lick because she hadn't played it in so long hehe. I didn't mind the retakes though. I wish they would have included the retakes on the dvd/cd release of this concert. It was definitely a fun event to be at.

  41. M.... C....

    i clicked the wrong button, love Bonny

  42. d.... ....

    Miss Bonnie plus Allison = PERFECTION!

  43. z.... ....

    This and other Billy Vera hit are available now on his new CD, "The Billy Vera Story".
    This is an UNPAID Non- Political Announcement.
    Keep rocking and writing those songs BV.
