KEEP ME POSTED

Written: White Rocks Dorm, NMSU, Las Cruces NM, fall 1965

 

Knees’ first C&W song. He didn’t really like this kind of music in 1965 but figured if he played it, he might as well write it. At the time he had sworn to always have the word “Mojo” in every one of his songs but fortunately, soon after he dropped this particular quirk. Harry Batchelor, the other guitar picker in the Torques, thought the line “doncha get in nobody’s car” was deliciously ominous.

 

Keep me posted baby

On where you goin to

Keep me posted baby

On everything you say and do

No I don’t trust yo baby no not one bit

Cuz I happen to know that you’re not worth it

So keep me posted baby

An I might keep lovin you.

 

Keep me posted baby

Let me know just where you are

Keep me posted baby

Doncha get in nobody’s car

Well you might fool me baby for a little while

But it won’t be long befo I find out chile

So keep me posted baby

An I might forget you’re such a liar.

 

Yeah keep me posted if you want yo man

Yeah keep me posted I want no Mojo hand.
