She used to love me a lot (cover)

(Lots more where this comes from - / centaurian47 ) Thought I'd have a quick go at this - the song's featured on the 'new' Johnny Cash album of unreleased material due out soon. (UPDATE: out now and I've bought it!) 'She used to love me a lot' was a country hit for David Allan Coe in 1984. The audio here is just a one-take live try to the computer linked to some stills from another video.
