Two modern words: Clarence White.

[EscapedBunnySlippers]

Old Crow Medicine Show used this tune in their Chorus of "Cocaine Habit", and now i understand why. Its a great song :)

[OuroborossoroborouO]

King of the 12-string indeed.

[MacBratt]

@OuroborossoroborouO It's a 10-string guitar ,-)

[MrTitsawanna]

@MacBratt

[maryandmoody]

He looks happy!

Lyric correction: "Tell you something, make you mighty tickled." Rhymes with nickel.

I've spent most of my life listening to Leadbelly & Blind Willie McTell, and I'm pretty old.

[nickellicker]

A little-known Delta blues song by the great Leadbelly, my biggest surprise was the virtually intact lyrics on your posting. Extremely well done, and thank you for sharing this with music fans worldwide...

[Pluckyxo]

[notbendable]

that's some absolutely killer guitar playing

[wisesatyr72]

woman dont bother me none..Im playing my music..leadbelly

[rorygamble]

What album can I find this on?

ausrotteny2k yeah, that's absolutely my favourite verse too. There's just something so absurd about demanding to know WHEN the cocaine will kill you.

[milascave]

Memphis Minnie did a good version too.

[cheifguggletram]

@AUSROTTENY2K You do realize this song is about how a man shouldn't do cocaine. Or did you forget just because you like to listen to songs that say drugs are cool?

[AUSROTTENY2K]

@cheifguggletram No, its because its a funny song and upbeat. Maybe pull the bug outa your ass and get a sense of humor dipshit :)

[kdaviper]

@cheifguggletram how exactly is this song about not doing coke?

[cheifguggletram]

@kdaviper I never said it isn't about doing coke. If you actually took the time to properly read my comment, you would've seen that I said it's about how someone who does coke shouldn't and that it will ruin his life.

[ptwowo]

@AUSROTTENY2K wow you're sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooo cool for wanting to do cocaine

[AUSROTTENY2K]

@ptwowo it was a joke, pipe down you pussy :)

[ptwowo]

@AUSROTTENY2K what makes me a pussy for commenting? you should look up what a pussy actually is 'cause I doubt you know.

[AUSROTTENY2K]

@ptwowo You're not a pussy for commenting. What you wrote in the comment made you sound like a pussy :)

[ptwowo]

@AUSROTTENY2K so calling you on your lame joke makes me a pussy? You just never make any sense do you? I suppose if I joke about drug abuse I will be COOL like you right?

[ptwowo]

@AUSROTTENY2K also noticed I'm not the only one calling you on your lameness - the song is against cocaine and you joke about doing cocaine? you should do it, it might make you smarter.

[AUSROTTENY2K]

@ptwowo Notice you're still being a little bitch :)

It was a joke. An obvious one at that. Now stop being a pussy and enjoy the music. Thank you.

[ptwowo]

@AUSROTTENY2K okay so now I am a litte bitch and a pussy for pointing out you have a retarded sense of humor due to inbreeding. You should read books with longer words and less pictures, you might sound like an adult. Adult don't use words like "little bitch" and "pussy", unless we're going to fuck the pussy of that little bitch, but you wouln't know anything about that since you're still in grade one obviously

[AUSROTTENY2K]

@ptwowo Grade 1? You can't even spell, idiot LOL you indeed are a litt(l)e bitch. Most got my joke except you. BTW I'd rather have a retarded sense of humor than none at all & long strenuous paragraphs won't prove anything for you.

So in conclusion, stop being a pussy. You bitch :)

[ptwowo]

@AUSROTTENY2K HELLO - NOT AMERICAN - we say shit differently here. I resign to discontinue this useless banter with the lesser species know as you and your family.

[AUSROTTENY2K]

@ptwowo Don't care if you're not American. Bottom line is simple and I'll gladly repeat it....

Stop being a pussy. You little bitch :)

[emay75wildcats]

@ptwowo You sound like a bitch

[ptwowo]

@emay75wildcats wow I am amazed you can hear sound out of words that I TYPED, loser. Future posts will be marked as spam I won't even read them.

[emay75wildcats]
