Question
I apoligize for the mispelling of OKIE IN MY LAST QUESTION. i DID USE SPELL CHECK BUT AM OPTICALLY CHALLENGED AND THE COMPUTER DID NOT CATCH THE IT BECAUSE IT WAS SPELLED RIGHT.
THE QUESTION IS ABOUT A SONG RECORDED BY dOYE o'dELL. THE ONLY THING MY FRIEND KNOWS IS A FEW WORDS" OKEYDOKEY MAMA'S LITTLE OKIE" (NOT jOKIE).
tHANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE WITH ME.


Answer
apparently you are referring to a song called "Dear Okie" recorded by Doyle O'Dell in 1948. I haven't been able to find the words but here's the link to a remake of it:

Expertise

I am a long time fan of Bluegrass and older country/folk music (20-70's) and have a fairly extensive tape and sheet music library of the same and have played the music non-professionally for many years. I can (hopefully) assist with information about artists and lyrics. Please try to make it the older stuff, I don't listen to much "modern" country except George Strait anymore....it ain't got no soul anymore :)

Experience

I grew up in the 60's listening to all the old greats and learned to play the music. I have spent a lot of time reading about the genres and have gotten a chance to meet several of the big names over the years.
