Oleo Lyrics

I was up this morning rocking with the rising sun,
I was up this morning rocking with the rising sun,
'Cause I got to find my baby and all the wrongdoing she's done.Well, I should've known she'd leave me, I should've known she'd slip away.
Well, I should've known she'd leave me, I should've known she'd slip away.
Too bad women like that be greasy both night and day.Well I miss that woman, and Lord knows I love her so,
Well I miss that baby, and Lord knows I love her so,
She's my greased-down mama, and I call her "Oleo".Well, I was up this morning rocking with the rising sun,
I was up this morning rocking with the rising sun,
'Cause I got to find my baby and all the wrongdoing she's done.Well I love that woman, and Lord knows I love her so,
Well I miss my baby, and Lord knows I love her so,
She's my greased-down baby, and I call her "Oleo".

One of the most original of the jazz-based guitarists to emerge in the 1960s, Pat Martino made a remarkable comeback after brain surgery in 1980 to correct an aneurysm that caused him to lose his memory and completely forget how to play. It took years, but he regained his ability, partly by listening to his older records. Martino began playing professionally when he was 15. He worked early on with groups led by Willis Jackson, Red Holloway, and a series of organists, including Don Patterson, Jimmy Smith, Jack McDuff, Richard "Groove" Holmes, and Jimmy McGriff.
