Gene Vincent, real name Vincent Eugene Craddock, (February 11, 1935 â€“ October 12, 1971) was an American rockabillypioneer musician, best known for his hit Be-Bop-A-Lula. He performed with his backing band, the Blue Caps. After Be-Bop-A-Lula had become a huge hit (peaking at #7 and spending 20 weeks in the Billboard Pop Chart), Gene Vincent & the Blue Caps were unable to follow it up with the same level of commercial success, but released critically acclaimed songs like Race With The Devil(#96 in Billboard) and Bluejean Bop(#49). Following a visit to Europe in 1959, Vincent managed to attract a new huge and discerning audience there, especially in England and France. By that time his career had mostly ended in the US.

You Told A Fib Lyrics

Gene Vincent

Well look-a here baby
You've been playin' up to me
But, we both know that it just can't be
You told me that you loved me
But now i can see
That's a-where you told an f-i-b (rock!)

That's where you lied, that's a-where, that's a-where you lied
That's where you lied, that's a-where, that's a-where you lied
A-livin' offa promises ain't for me
That's where you told an f-i-b
(rock it)

Well look-a here baby
You've been playin' up to me
But, we both know that it just can't be
You told me that you loved me
But now i can see
That's where you told an f-i-b

Well now givin' me that sweet talk
A-changed my mind
'cause i just found you out in the nick of time
You told me that you wanted me to be your turtle dove
But i can't make it offa promises of love
That's where you lied, that's a-where, that's a-where you lied
That's where you lied, that's a-where, that's a-where you lied
A-livin' offa promises ain't for me
'cause that's where you told an f-i-b
You told a fib, you told a fib, you told an f-i-b
You told a fib, you told a fib, you told an f-i-b
You told a fib, you told a fib, you told an f-i-b
You told a fib, you told a fib, you told an f-i-b
