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.

Excellent Vinnie! Jim’s banjo drives this so well. Uncle spends a lot of time on buses, sorry to hear about your baby John! Perfect matchup guys!  Passionate lyrics, vocals and playing.  Also hat of the month Vinnie!

Good title. I didn't have a title.   Wow, I had not thought about you doing this on banjo or in this manner.  I am just blown away happy with what you did with this, song we Co-wrote.   Thank you!  This is like a great surprise Christmas present.
