A kind of biographical song of my events this year featuring Slowpaw Steve T (AKA Potbelly Pig!) with the Middlesex County Hobo Itinerate Gospel Choir (Zeke asked me to mention his Banjo solo at the end...!).
I wanted a gritty sound so just pushed up the gain a little on the mixing desk.
Guitar; Punch 2
Drum; Roland TD-12 Bass Drum.
PLAY LOUD!
SLOWPAW BREW
FROM THE GARDENS OF OLD DENHAM,
TO THE BACKROADS OF KENT,
TO THE HILLS OF DEEPEST DEVON,
WHEREVER I WENT.
WITH A CIGAR BOX FROM HONDURAS,
SOME WOOD FROM THORNTON'S MILL,
A FLATPUP FOUR FROM KLANGBOX,
I BUILT ME A STIL.
CHORUS -
IF YOU'RE FEELING DOWN MY FRIEND,
A LITTLE TIRED AND BLUE,
TAKE A LITTLE TIP FROM ME AND TRY MY BREW!
IF YOU GOT A PROBLEM AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO,
COME ALONG AND SIT RIGHT HERE,
TRY MY BREW!
YOU CAN KEEP YOUR FANCY WHISKY AND YOUR FOGGY MOUNTAIN DEW -
I'LL JUST KEEP ON SINGIN' 'BOUT MY SLOWPAW BREW!
GRANPAW, SISTER, MAMA TOO,
FOLKS 'LL GET ACQUAINTED WITH
SLOWPAW BREW!
CHORUS -
IF YOU'RE FEELING DOWN MY FRIEND,
A LITTLE TIRED AND BLUE,
TAKE A LITTLE TIP FROM ME AND
TRY MY BREW!
IF YOU GOT NO MONEY AND YOU
HAVEN'T GOT A CLUE,
DON'T GET UP AND FRET NOW,
JUST TRY MY BREW!
REPEAT CHORUS.
THANK YOU MOST KINDLY FOLKS! (-:
To be included on forthcoming album "Slowpaw Brew"

Thanks folks! (-:
Had great fun putting this all together! the song started out as a slow riff i named "country riff '' sitting on my hard drive for months waiting for a home, i had the idea for a rowdy drinking song floating around for some time too. The other week I bought a 70th anniv. DVD of "Gone with the Wind" for my mum's 87th birthday, she's a great fan of Clark Gable and she was so pleased she insisted i sit with her through the whole film...guess that's where my singing accent on this one possibly came from! Scarlett reminded me of my second wife...though with Scarlett's brains she could have been really dangerous! (-;
Will have fun this Xmas consuming all the props...! (-;
Made my night, so refreshing, good n mate
Gotta try writing me a song one day. Loved it
Another great tune Steve. Nice one.
Fantastic! A number one hit record and a top selling alcoholic beverage all in one. A superb marketing plan! Now, lets bring down Tesco!!!
Great song Steve.
