You Mashed That Sucker Flat!

One of my favorite songs growing up was "You Done Stomped On My Heart." Apparently written by Mason Williams, the version I grew up with was recorded by a bluegrass band called Smokewood. We had a vinyl record that I played over and over, once we finally got a copy recorded to tape I carried that around with me for years and have since lost it.

So far the only recording I've found online is an old John Denver rendition on youtube, not near as great as the Smokewood version, but for some reason the lyrics started floating through my mind this evening...

I told you that I loved you, You said "it's so good"
I called you my Darling, I thought I always would.
But now you've gone and left me, I don't know what to do...
And so, my little Darling, I write these words to you:

You done stomped on my heart

and you mashed that sucker flat

you just sorta, went and stomped on my aorta

You started going out with guys, I felt us drift apart

And every step you took, it were a-stomp upon my heart.

I only hope that someday you get them low-down blues.

And in some smoky honky-tonk you look down at yer shoes.

You think all about that tender heart you crushed beneath them soles

And with them clod-bustin' stompers you left my heart so full of holes.

You done stomped on my heart

and you mashed that sucker flat

you just sorta, went and stomped on my aorta

You started going out with guys, I felt us drift apart

And every step you took, it were a-stomp upon my heart.
