Hi HJ, try this
Hangin' 'round & foolin' 'bout'll sure get you down
Sure get you down, sure get you down
Hangin' 'round & foolin' 'bout'll sure get you down
If you hang around & foolin' 'bout too long
Police and High Sheriff come a ridin' down
Ridin' down, ridin' down
Police and High Sheriff come a ridin' down
And you know you don't want to go
Hangin' 'round the skin game'll sure get you down
Sure get you down
Hangin' 'round the skin game'll sure get you down
If you hang 'round the skin game too long
Police and high sheriff come a ridin' down
Ridin' down, ridin' down
Police and high sheriff come a ridin' down
And you know you don't want to go
Thirty days in the jailhouse will sure get you down
Sure get you down
Thirty days in the jailhouse will sure get you down
If you stay in the jailhouse too long
Guards in the roadside come a carryin' you down
Carryin' you down
Guards in the road(side) come a carryin' you down
And you know you don't want to go
Best of luck,
Staggerin' Jim

Hi all,
does anybody know the lyrics to this tune on Document's "Great Harp
Players
1927-1936", or a site on the net where I can find these lyrics (sounds
like
a traditional song to me)? I just love the simple melody but the guy's
really mumbling...
