The Hombres were from the Memphis area (Bill Cunningham's brother was in
the Box Tops), but it was Texas/Louisiana legend Huey P. Meaux who produced
this weird cross between 'Gloria' and 'Subterranean Homesick Blues' which
made it to #12 in November, 1967.
The spoken intro, BTW, is taken from the 1949 novelty record 'Cigareetes,
Whuskey, and Wild, Wild Women' by Red Ingle and the Natural Seven.  -- AWR

                           (Bill Cunningham)
Intro:
	(spoken): "A preachment, dear friends, you are about to receive
	    on John Barleycorn, nicotine, and the temptations of Eve"
	(Bronx cheer)
	organ arr. for guitar:	[xx6x8x]
	   E   D      A[4X; continue through verses]

Verse 1:
	No parkin' by the sewer sign
	Hot dog, my razor's broke
	Water drippin' up the spout
	But I don't care, let it all hang out
Verse 2:
	Hangin' from a pine tree by my knees
	Sun is shinin' through the shade
	Nobody knows what it's all about,
	It's too much, man, let it all hang out

Verse 3:
	Saw a man walkin' upside down
	My T.V.'s on the blink
	Made Galileo look like a Boy Scout
	Sorry 'bout that, let it all hang out
Verse 4:
	Sleep all day, drive all night
	Brain my numb, can't stop now
	For sure ain't no doubt
	Keep an open mind, let it all hang out
[repeat break]
Verse 5:
	It's rainin' inside a big brown moon
	How does that mess you baby up, leg
	Eatin' a Reuben sandwich with sauerkraut
	Don't stop now, baby, let it all hang out
Coda:
	Let it all hang out (harmonized) [repeat to fade]
