Uncle Charlie Interview is short, spoken word recording in the seminal 1970 album Uncle Charlie & His Dog Teddy from The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. This spoken word treatment was included as the entree on the "B-side" extended single release of Mr. Bojangles. Uncle Charlie Interview I was borned in Kaufmann County, Texas, That was in, uh, eleventh of September eighteen and eighty six. Come to 'Californee' in nineteen and six. I didn't have to go to Worlds War I or, I was too old for World War II. One good thing that I've always been proud of- I was the youngest in the family, and the rest was all married, And I've taken good care of my mother and father as long as they lived. There was a feller up here at the post office one day he was a pettin' him, I says to him, that dog, you have no idea how smart he is, I just thought I'd tell you. You ain't tellin' me nothin', I know all about it! Kids would come here, "We wanta hear old Ted sing!" And in them days, I fooled with him more than, I could just commence this way, I want you to sing now, Doh, Doh, Doh, Wooo! Now I have to take the harp and make a sound before he'll sing. Teddy, come here! Come on, come on out from under there. There now, sit down, sit down Teddy. Now here, I want you to sing, sing these folks a song, sing 'The Old Rugged Cross'! Listen, chord with this now, here!
