"My Old Timey Baby" by Dan Hicks


I'm not sure if C+ is the right name for XX1212, but that's what I had written 
down years ago...It's basically a D7 with an E-flat added.  Play it and it 
should sound alright...
             (XX1212)
A               C+         A                   F#
She's a bit old timey, but that's alright with me,

    B                Bm7 E7      A       D7      A          C+
She wears a dress of velvet that hangs below her knees, her knees

A               C+            A                 F#
She's a bit old-fashioned, as all the world can see,

    B                       Bm7  E7      A     D7    A        C+     
The cameo she wears upon her bosum, puts me in ecstasy, ecstasy,

A                  C+             A                    F#
She's her own grandmother, that's what they're telling me,

    B           Bm7 E7   A       D7       A       D7
But my old timey baby is swell enough for me, you see...


    E                E7
She plays her old victrola

    A       D7        A       D7  
The lamp is low, kerosene you know,
 
   E            E7
We lie upon her bed, 

    A         D7      A         D7
The patchwork quilt beneath her head,

   E                  E7
Or while her wheel is spinning,

    A         D7      A     D7  
She sews some lace or we embrace,

   A              C+              A                F#
Or when we go out strolling, the world can plainly see,

     B           Bm7 E7   A     D7            A       D7
That my old timey baby is swell enough, she's young enough,

      A      D7      A7
She's hip enough for me...
