Mams Carter flexes her boogie woogie muscles in this new song Hanky Panky. LIke most of her recordings, her son Amos Carter plays the double bass. Amos records for us here at Big And Tall Records, but has not had a recording for awhile. He's probably been busy working at Delmar Gentry's farm taking care of horses, and playing gigs with his own boogie-woogie band. Mother and son play together quite a bit, although she doesn't play many public gigs as she's not fond of public performance. She likes smaller, more intimate gatherings, and she's developed a fondness for recording.
There's a great big difference.
Between needing and wanting a man .
At this point in my life
I'd sure want one, if I can.
Once in a while, spend together,
Just being there to hang out
Companionship is what I'm after
Don't want to just lay about
Got some things I just can't abide
Smokin' makes the breath too stinky!
Without bein' fussy, just nice and clean
Just in case I want some hanky panky!
Don't want a man hangin' on me
Every hour of the day!
Don't want somebody that's so needy
That worships every word that I say!
Don't want Sir Walter Raleigh
Spreading out no damn drape
Over a sloppy mud puddle
Don't want no man that wears a cape!
Got some things I just can't abide
If they're mean in heart and spirit
If they love animals, a good sign
That sounds like you, let's hear it!
Sounds like I'm particular
Guess what...I sure am!
Don't want to waste any time
With a mopin',surly man
Everyone has their sad times
Not what I'm talkin' about
But some men are just crab assed
Ain't what I'm all about!
Got some things I just can't abide
A man that doesn't respect,
A woman as a human being
That doesn't deserve neglect!
So there ya go, my strict no-nos
Don't mind a bit of a paunch
But if you've got a big beer gut
I sure would give you a launch
Health as we age gets touchy,
We all surely have our ills.
I got my share, but can still get around
AS long as I take all my pills!
Got some things I just can't abide
Smokin' makes the breath too stinky!
Without bein' fussy, just nice and clean
Just in case...
I want some...
Hanky panky!
