If you're looking for country, you've found it in this classic country tune by Wanda Jackson, it couldn't be any more country. It's contrary to today's songs they call country, but in my opinion they're grossly mislabeled. I'd like for all us that enjoy the way it used to sound to promote these old songs as much as possible, I just hate to see it completely die off and be buried forever. Copy You'd be the First to Know lyrics and chords then learn to play and sing this great old song.
