Old timey song - done by Mississippi John Hurt and possibly written by him. Done here by a hack on a CBG.

Thanks for the kind words, Bones. 

Andries, I think I did throw change things or throw and added an extra line or couplet - the one on italics below:

  "Got a house in the country.  Garden out back.

  Come see me baby, take me back."

Another great song preformed by a great Dude .

Thanks, Paul.  It's a pretty easy song - a 3 chorder which is my specialty when I can not find a 2 chorder.   Thanks, AGP.  I like that.   I don't know if I added a couplet or took one away, Andries!   Thanks on the old white owl.  I used it a lot in my early CBN days.

Fine rendition of the creole Bell Uncle John! On your superbe combo white owl & tin sandwitch, it is a full on version did you ad on a exstra couplet? plenty fine tone on that WO a pleasure!

Great job playing the git, harmonica and singing all at once. I can only do one at a time and not as good. Haha

Thanks, Milt.  I have improved on the fret jobs.  From a D to C- .

Good tune there UJ. Fretting just takes a bit of practice and pay close attention to what you're doing.

Comment by Uncle John on April 22, 2018 at 5:01am

Thanks, Steve.  The frets work great, but they might have been my first and they are not too purty to look at.

Built circa 2009 and still a fave.
