"Can you imagine she let her daughter Rosalie go off to Memphis by herself!?" Love the chorus weaving their gossipy, self righteous comments in and out of the vocals.
@57timmyb Bobbie is a genius with lyrics... I'm not sure I have acurately deciphere all the counter point singing in this song... "I would love to have your recipe, except the way you serve that hot thing..." at least thats what I think it says..... this has always been one of my favorite Bobbie songs
@cojoification I think the lyric says something closer to "Lori I'd like to have your recipe is this the cake you served last Sunday?" An internet site says it is "Harvey I'd love to..." but I doubt that is the name used. I used to have sheet music and words to all Bobbie's songs years ago. I was in her fan club and they were available for I think a dollar. Unfortunately over the years I did not keep them.
@57timmyb you'd be surprised how many southern families had an uncle Harvey who cooked and baked just as good as the women folk...(they were usually "confirmed bachelors" ;)
@cojoification Also- the dirty old Uncle or Dad or cousin or brother who we all remember salaciously commenting "Why yes, I guess, and don't you look nice in your Sunday dress..." Hilarious and a somewhat frightening insight into the darker side of family dynamics.
I remember Bobbie did this with Tom Jones on his show when I was a kid. Anyone have that performance?

@skewlboypin True...those uncles were all over- in fact I'm probably one of them.
