They all asked about you down on the farm
The cows asked, the pigs asked, the horses asked too
All wanna know why to the city you moved
Changed your name to Kitty, what's come over you ?

It ain't true, it ain't true, Linda Lou
Say it ain't true, Linda Lou
It ain't true, it ain't true, Linda Lou
Say it ain't true, Linda Lou.

They's all bawling 'bout you down on the farm
The cows bawl, the pigs bawl, the horses bawl too
Miss you so much that crying's all we can do
Weeping and wailing, praying you'll come home soon.

It ain't true, it ain't true, Linda Lou
Say it ain't true, Linda Lou.

I hear you're working in a saloon
I hear you work from midnight 'til noon
I might be from the woods
But them hours don't sound so good
What do you do in this here barroom ?

Say it ain't true, it ain't true, Linda Lou
It ain't true, Linda Lou
Say it ain't true, it ain't true, Linda Lou
Say it ain't true, Linda Lou.

You can't dance so I assume
In a bag you carry a tune
You're from the woods
But these hours don't sound so good
What you doin' in this here barroom ?

Say it ain't true, it ain't true, Linda Lou
It ain't true, Linda Lou
It ain't true, it ain't true, Linda Lou
Say it ain't true, Linda Lou.
Little Feat

Little Feat is an American rock band formed by lead vocalist and guitarist Lowell George, keyboardist Bill Payne, drummer Richie Hayward and bassist Roy Estrada in 1969 in Los Angeles. The band's classic line-up, in place by late 1972, comprised George, Payne, Hayward, bassist Kenny Gradney, guitarist and vocalist Paul Barrere and percussionist Sam Clayton. George disbanded the group because of creative differences shortly before his death in 1979. Surviving members re-formed Little Feat in 1987 and the band has remained active to the present.

Sorry - still laughing over the "Ribbit"/"Shut up!" exchange. Somehow, the song itself is an anticlimax. I'm betting that the frog ended up on the table with lemon sauce. Either that, or the human ended up lost in a cornfield without his flask. Either way, I love the hell out of this song. LIttle Feat... Perfect sunshine music.  Bumping this to a 10, just because it makes me feel so good...

 

"Lost in the cornfield with out his flask"....funny

Bill, I am always jealous of your track of this.  You have the cricket at the start.  Does not seem to be possible in any of the digital versions I find. Say it ain't true Linda Lou.

I just finished the new book "Willin'". I highly recommend it as a great history of Little Feat.

And Terry Reid, particularly "River" and "Seed of Memory".

Me thinks Lowell George gave it a listen.

Awesome band,song writer - so underratted and appreciated by the masses. Too bad for them, I always liked bands that were not well known. Probably started with Little Feat. Rock and Roll Dr -RIP

The cows bawl, the pigs bawl, the horses bawl too
Miss you so much that crying's all we can do
Weeping and wailing, praying you'll come home soon.Δ
