I have a vague recollection that Linnie Paterson came from Edinburgh,
FWIW. Also Ricky Gardiner is one of the few people I remember seeing
with a Les Paul recording model. Let`s just check out how many of the
brain cells have fallen victim to the demon drink over the years since I
last played this....

I went up to see her; she set her dog on me
D C G D C G
Her dog on me, her dog on me
Am G
Baby don`t you know me? So get your dog off me
F E7
You`d better get your dog off me, woman!
Then she recognised me and laughed until she cried
Invited me inside for cocktails and a ride
I put her through her paces on the couch and on the floor
I was set for more, till a man came through the door
When the man came in he set the dog on me
The dog on me, the dog on me
Please don`t let him kill me, get the dog off me
You`d better get your dog off me, man! I said you better...
Cheers,
Magnus.
