Right String Baby But The Wrong Yo Yo
Glen Campbell
written by Rufus Perryman (Speckled Red)
This song was well recorded by various artists
including Carl Perkins in 1957
Ferlin Husky and others which had lyrics varying
wildly. This is Glen's version.
Glen Preformed this on Shin Dig Live
unsure if it was ever on an album.
