Uncle John Bolton was kind enuff to send me some words and this was my take on the tune.Peace,all.I was looking for work when the sun went down.
And didn't know my baby left town.
(Tag) That Greyhound bus took my baby away.
That old dog bus, stole my baby away.

I got to find her. I know I must.
Find a way to follow that bus. (Tag)

Ashes to ashes and lust to lust
I thought I had woman that I could trust. (Tag)

I'll find out where that dog has gone.
And find my baby before too long. (Tag)

Instrumental and repeat verse one.

Vinnie, I think maybe that last verse would be better as,

'I'll find out where that dog has gone.

And I will bring my baby home.'

Comment by Uncle John on December 10, 2017 at 1:23am

Thanks again, Richard.  Thanks, Di, Dave and Paul.  I am sticking with giving Vinnie the lion's share of credit.  Had I done it, it would have been a simple 12 bar. 

Vinnie that old creative thing is a cat.  It comes when it wants to, not necessarily when you call it.
