Lyrics

At my door the leaves are falling
A cold wild wind will come,
Sweethearts walk by together
And I still miss someone.

I go out on a party
to look for a little fun,
But I find a darkened corner
'Cause I still miss someone.

Oh, I never got over those blues eyes
I see them every where.
And I miss those arms that held me,
When all the love was there.

Now I wonder if he's sorry
For leavin' what we'd begun.
There's someone for me somewhere
But I still miss someone.

Oh, I never got over those blues eyes
I see them every where.
And I miss those arms that held me,
When all the love was there

Now I wonder if he's sorry
For leavin' what we'd begun.
There's someone for me somewhere
But I still miss someone.

Folk Uke is the musical collaboration of Cathy Guthrie and Amy Nelson. The band was born in the year 2000 when Amy took Cathy to buy her first ukulele in Leucadia, CA. Once armed with instruments, these girls became a force to be reckoned with. Most of the time, Amy plays guitar and Cathy plays uke. If you've seen them live, you know that they like to joke about their musical abilities or lack thereof, but don't let them fool you. Not only are they clever lyricists, but, they've been known to switch instruments from song to song. Each mistake is carefully crafted to make the audience think they aren't very skilled, but I think we all know better... Those girls are amazing! Chickenaliza (cub reporter for F.U.N.) We were inspired by many of the agreeable greats of the Folk, Country, and Americana genres. Our favorite chords are C, F, and G. So, if you'd like to play along, well, it's that easy. Of our infamous families, the two of us had been the musical holdouts until we gave into the force and began writing and playing music together. We penned songs such as 'Shit Makes the Flowers Grow', 'Knock Me Up', and 'Motherfucker Got Fucked Up' and we thought, "What a crime it would be to keep these national treasures to ourselves. How can we keep silent when we are the voice of a nation?" You may not hear us on the radio, since our songs have been described as "inappropriate", "off-color", "not ready for mainstream" and "NSFW"(Not Safe For Work). Our debut EP, 'Folk Uke', is self-titled, as are we. It was produced by Abe Guthrie and ourselves. "Family values" would be the common chord in this unprecedented collection of songs, since we let our Dads, Willie Nelson and Arlo Guthrie, take the solos and chime in when they were compelled to do so. It was the least we could do for our executive producers. It made them feel good and that made us feel good; so we took the chance that it would make thousands of people feel good and we printed thousands of copies. We sure hope you'll buy one, or ten, or even twenty... Cathy Guthrie and Amy Nelson.
