From the recording "Ol' Mare" and "Dooley"
This track was recorded live in studio using a vintage RCA ribbon microphone from 1948.
He's Ridin' An Ol' Mare is the single from "Sloppy Bud Grass" released in 2017.
This song was written on the brick patio of the house while Jamie and Beth were chilling out on a summer day and Jamie, guitar in hand, was just picking his guitar casually.
Jamie asked Beth (with lyrics in his head already) "what's the difference between a filly and a mare?"
Beth laughed and replied "You are kidding me? Really?"
Jamie said "no, no, just confirm, I got something."
And then this tune was on its way.
It is a very popular song when performed live with a band.
Lyrics
1, 2...
Well my sister's got a boyfriend
he got long shiny hair.
Well my sister's got a boyfriend
he got long shiny hair.
Well he thought he found a filly,
but he's a ridin' an old mare.
Well she's got more in her closet,
than a Ryder Truck can tow.
Well she got more in her closet,
than a Ryder Truck can tow.
Well, the boy done found some trouble,
he found some things he didn't know!
take it Rich
Well, he thinks he's gonna tame her,
it ain't never been done before!
Well, he thinks he's gonna tame her,
it ain't never been done before!
She's gotta learn when the man come a knocking,
naw baby, don't open that door!
Well my sister's got a boyfriend,
he got long shiny hair.
Well my sister's got a boyfriend,
he walk around with a blank stare!
Well he thought he found a filly,
but he's a ridin' an old mare!
Ridin' an ol' mare y'all
Closet full of men
wooh!
alright...
