SONG DRAFT: Goodbye Pretty Mama (This Dog Ain’t No Hound)

I’m gonna take those shoes I bought you
Put yo’ feet on the ground, put you’ feet on the ground

I’m gonna leave you just like I found you
All out and down, all out and down

So goodbye, pretty mama
This dog ain’t no hound,
This dog ain’t no hound

You ain’t been sweet to me, my darlin’
Lord in seventeen years, Lord in seventeen years

My heart done turn cold as stone, pretty mama
Ain’t got no more tears, I ain’t got no more tears

So goodbye, pretty mama
This dog ain’t no hound,
This dog ain’t no hound

I ain’t gon’ buy you nothin’ else
When I go to town, when I go to town

You gonna be all by yourself
I won’t wear no frown, I won’t wear a frown

So goodbye, pretty mama
This dog ain’t no hound,
This dog ain’t no hound

About the song:

This song is a blues folk song recorded with an electric guitar over a soft steady backing of bass and acoustic guitar. I wrote this song as part of a larger collection of songs, each attempting to express what I call Tha Blooz, an updated and modern inflection on the long tradition of “blues” music with creative instrumentation, song form and arrangement. I hope to release more, and perform live shows in support of this music!

VIDEO TRIBUTE: Tom Petty – Wildflowers – Joe Eddie cover

Man, one of my songwriting idols, resting in peace … I grew up listening to Tom Petty, reminds me of runnin’ with my best friends in the high school days … beautiful, simple songs … I think he owns the F-C-Am-G chord progression forever with Learning To Fly .. there are a lot like that .. The Apartment Song is still one of my favorite songs to play on guitar when I don’t know what to do. Thanks Tom, love from above — Joe Eddie
