My Four Reasons – Ivory Chittison & Banjo Joe

I hate a girl who’s full of “Nos”, hits the jug and uses joe

That’s one of my four reasons

Who rolls her own below her knees, and flirts with those and flirts with these

That’s two of my four reasons

And when she chews that garlic, and eats Limburger cheese

I get an awful weakness far down below my knees

Now folks I told you this and that, my mind’s at ease

That’s all of my four reasons

[Agatakraska]

Makes me wanna cry... Good its god..

Doesanyone know which tuning Ikey Robinson used? It looks to me like it could be DGBE, but I'm not familiar enough with fifths tuning chords to really say.
