The Mean Old Timer

[tmsweeney]

Wrote this tune with Ryan Delaney for Blind Crow

Blind Crow mean-old-timer

Mean Old Timer he's got grey hair, Mean Old Timer he just don't care
Got no compassion thinks its a sin
All he does is sit around and play the mandolin.

Walking around in a cloud of smog, thinks he can play just like the Dawg
Drunk on whiskey don't you know thinks he can play like Bill Monroe
Used to be an alter boy, now he picks on Soldiers Joy
plays all day for heaven sake, thinks he can play like Norman Blake

Saw him playin' eatin' dinner, thinks he can play just like Matt Flinner
fallin' asleep give him a push, thinks he can play just like Sam Bush
saw him sittin' in a bar, he was pickin' on Jackie Tar
stopped to tell a little story, think he can play like Ron McCoury

He only stops to take a piss, thinks he can play it just like Chris
Peter O, Sierra Hull, thinks he can play just like them all.


and the verse that didn't make on the recording

He doesn't judge, he's so impartial, thinks he can play just like Mike Marshall
He's not mean, he is a nice man, thinks he can play just like John Reischman

That very cool. I played a short link provided.
I might have to give them a "lissening "to.
