My name is Reuben Scratch from Blue Make, or Reuben Blue _ from Scratch Magazine.
And my guest tonight is Tex from Tex and the Horses.
_ She's having a little brandy here.
She's warming herself after the long hike up here in the rain.
_ So, Tex, _ you're mixing some drinks.
_ _ _ I have a cup of dough.
Yeah, it looks good to me.
All right.
A little brandy in the coffee never hurt.
_ _ Tex, how long have your band been together, Tex and the Horses? _ _ _ _
Oh, yeah, I'm not supposed to say, um_
Do I smell my eye makeup?
_ _ _ About since February.
_ _ _ I was with the Horses before that, but they're a different member.
But the real Horses have been together since February.
_ [B] Who are the real Horses?
The real Horses are Mike Mark, _ _ _ _ Smog Vomit, and Rock Vodka, and I, of course, Tex Jones.
_ Okay.
_ So, is Tex your real name, Tex Jones?
_ Yep, it's my real name [F#] at the moment.
_ How often does the moment change?
_ About every two years.
Okay.
_ _ _ Let's see.
How would you describe your performances _ in playing?
I've seen you around.
You play pretty wild.
Absolutely impeccable.
I never saw anything like it.
I hope I never see anything like it again.
_ _ That bad?
No, I thought it was great.
No, I like it.
I have a good time.
I try to have a good time.
I like to tell everybody something, though.
_ It's been on my mind.
Do you drink a lot when you_
That's just what I wanted to bring up.
No, I don't drink a lot.
Everybody says that Tex is an alcoholic, and _ it's just not true.
I have a drink every now and then, like everybody [B] else,
but I _ get intoxicated a little easier.
So it looks like I'm a big drunk, but I'm not.
Like, the [F#] other show, I laughed at the lingerie,
and I read the paper, it goes,
the besotted Tex, what else is new?
Well, I got news.
I was on LSD that night.
So, _ that's an old wives' tale. _ _ _
_ Do you do LSD a lot?
No.
That was the first time in a long time.
_ I'm not going to ever do it again.
_ If anybody wants to give Tex a job as a waitress_
I can give you a demonstration right now.
My waitressing abilities.
[N] I can sing for you.
Would you rather me sing or sing a song?
Yeah, sure.
Let's hear a song.
Okay. _ _ _
What would you like to hear?
Any requests? _ _
Anybody?
Let's see.
How about Satin the Woods on Fire, or a Hank Williams song?
Let's hear a Hank Williams song. _ _
_ _ _ Okay.
You sing loud, and I'll sing louder.
You be [F#] fat, and I'll be fatter.
_ Yeah.
_ That fool do be sittin' on his own fire.
Satin the Woods on Fire.
_ _ _ _ And I'll serve a drink for you.
Okay.
I can do lots of things.
I can serve drinks.
I can walk poodles.
If anybody needs their poodle walk down Beverly Hills or anything,
_ I'd be willing to minimum wage, _ or ten bucks an hour.
I don't care.
Okay. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Would you and your girlfriend care for any drink?
_ Yes, I'll take a cup of coffee with just a little brandy in it, please.
Okay. _ _
[B] _ Well, your girlfriend's not here, so I'll just set in for a _ _ _ _ _ spicy little drink up a little.
_ _ [N] _ _
_ _ _ And I'd like to offer to some of you ladies and gentlemen out there in the _ audience. _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
That good?
_ _ Hi.
What's the dang deal?
I'm [N] Tex, and I'm going to sing a song by Jimmy Reed called Big Boss Man. _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Big Boss Man.
Oh, Big Boss Man. _ _ _
_ Why can't you have me when I call?
_ _ [Em] _ _ _
Big [A] Boss Man. _ _ _ _
Why can't you have me when I [E] call? _ _ _ _ _ _
Well, you _ ain't so [A] _
bad. _ _ _ _ _ _
You're just a _ bad [E] boy.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ When big boss got me working,
_ _ _ _ _ working _ _ round the clock. _ _
_ _ _ I won't need a drink of _ _ water. _ _ _
_ Don't let [Em] Tex have some big [A] boss man. _ _ _
_ Why can't you have me when I [E] call? _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Well, you [A] _ ain't so bad. _ _ _ _ _
You're just a bad [E] _
boy. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Let me _ get me a big boss man.
_ _ _ _ I won't go to the cheap new guy. _ _ _ _
Let me get me a big boss man.
Let me get _ _ [A] _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ me a [A] big boss man.
_ _ _ _ Why can't you have me when I [E] call?
_ _ [A] _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ Well, you _ [A] ain't so bad. _ _ _ _ _
_ You're just _ a bad _ [E] boy. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Well, [E] you _ ain't so [A] _ _ bad. _ _
_ _ _ _ You're just a _ [E] bad boy. _ _ _
_ _ _ Big _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ Boss Man. _ _ _
