Thanks Oily. This is pretty much a direct rip from Elizabeth Cotten's "Shake Sugaree" https://youtu.be/O1ViAIdO3i4 with some altercated lyrics. Some were composed on the fly while I recorded it. Here are the ones I wrote:

I got drunk and I got in jail
Called Uncle John for to go my bail
Oh lordy me didn't I shake Sugaree
Everything I got is gone to pawn
Everything got pawned to Uncle John

Listen up boys if he goes your bail
Better not run he'll get blood hounds on your trail
Oh Lordy me.....

He got a pawn shop he will take your car
He'll even take your cigar box guitar
Oh lordy me......
