Sittin' On Your Fence

from Sittin' On Your Fence EP by Gary O'Dea

/

about

Authentic Country Music...Black Country that is...Anglicana...think of a Doc Martin with spurs on and you'll get the meaning.

Song features Glenn Sommerville on violin, Gary Lammin on slide guitar, me old mucker Eric Cox on tea-chest bass and banjo, and Andy Stokes on piano...plus backing vocals from the Harborne Inbreds (Jim Binning and god bless Cecil Patton).

A live favourite from Gary's Gentlemen Bandits days...take your partners :-)!

lyrics

Sittin' on Your Fence.

Well the roses that I sent you, you've just thrown across your lawn,
Your telephone is off the hook and your curtains there all drawn,
Oh but I can't get enough of you,
So I'll just sit here on your fence.

That angelic little look of yours, you know the sweetness of your smile,
You got the temper of a She-Devil, Oh girl you drivin' me wild,
Oh but I can't get enough of you,
So I'll just sit here on your fence

Well now you can holler girl shout and scream and drowned me in abuse,
Oh but I'll sit here on your fence

Yeah I'm sittin' on your fence, sittin' on your fence,
Well I've been here from dusk till' dawn.
I ain't goin' yet.
No cos' I can't get enough of you,
So I'll just sit here on your fence,
Well like this…

(HARMONICA)

(GUITAR)

Well that night when we were dancin', you slapped me round the face,
You poured your drink all over me an' you left me in disgrace,
Oh but I just looked at you and smiled,
Oh girl, you’re drivin' me wild

Well now you can holler girl shout and scream and drowned me in abuse,
Oh but I'll sit here on your fence
Well like this…

(HARMONICA)

(GUITAR)

''Authentic Country music, yeah Black Country that is''

Well now Saturday night it's here again, and it's the local dance,
We got twenty or more sittin' out here waitin' to take their chance,
Oh well, we're all out here doin' fine,
We're all drinking, singing, having a good time

Well now you can holler girl shout and scream and drown me in abuse,
Oh but I'll just sit here on your fence,

Well now you can holler girl shout and scream and drowned me in abuse,
Oh but I'll just sit here on your F-E-N-C-E

(HARMONICA run down to end).
