Here's a rather unusual and less known version of this old blues song. Ramblin' Thomas recorded it in 1928. I changed the lyrics (they're more Lemonesque now) and at the end you'll hear the wider known version like Bukka White played it. I'm a half step below DADF#AD.

Here's a brilliant electronic version made by dincert1
