She's on the grounds, that's what they say
I heard the news only yesterday
She's on the prowl like a siamese cat
I hope I'm where it's at
She's got a lover
It's a guarantee
That her new lover
It ain't me
She's got a lover
That's what I'm told
She got a lover
I'm out in the cold

She's on the grounds, that's what they say
I heard the news only yesterday
She's on the prowl like a siamese cat
I must not be where it's at
She's got a lover
Puts her in a trance
She's got a lover
I ain't got a chance
She's got a lover
It's a guarantee
That her new lover
It ain't me
She's got a lover
That's what i'm told
She got a lover
I'm out in the cold
J.J. Cale

John Weldon "J. J." Cale (December 5, 1938 – July 26, 2013) was an American guitarist, singer, and songwriter. Though he avoided the limelight, his influence as a musical artist has been acknowledged by figures such as Neil Young, Mark Knopfler, Waylon Jennings, and Eric Clapton, who described him as one of the most important artists in rock history. He is one of the originators of the Tulsa sound, a loose genre drawing on blues, rockabilly, country, and jazz.

In 2008, Cale and Clapton received a Grammy Award for their album The Road to Escondido.

He lays down a groove, gets toes tapping, and then just effortlessly adds the right touch here and there to keep it interesting. I love J.J. Cale. His music makes me feel like I'm floating down a slow-moving stream on a big raft with a joint in my hand and nothing but time to spare...
 

Miss you so much, Cynaera...

amazing how many covers of various J.J. Cale songs were big hits...  he is the source of so much music, and this song is marvelous...

Sounds like the same amp/effects that Mark Knopfler uses - I wish I knew what makes that kind of sound - aside from those magic fingers.
 
Strat through a Mesa Boogie. You'd have to fiddle with the Strat settings. Don't know if he needs or uses effects. Probably, but the Strat and Boogie are a good start.
