It's a tune called Big Knee Gal.
It's all kinds of things that you can talk about [Cm] women about,
you know.
When I was growing up, we didn't have,
she was tall and stately going for me in my neighborhood.
We had, you know, she's an old heavy hip gal
live over there on the avenue.
You know which one I mean.
So that kind of talk and describing things,
you know, got me to writing, thinking
about writing this tune.
It's all about experience that I once had with the [N] woman.
