Hi, Can someone post the lyrics to an old country blues tune called "You Got The Pocketbook I Got The Key"? Rev Gary Davis has performed this tune, usually as an instrumental.

Thanks,

Paul Williams

This is a piece I frequently play (not nearly as good as Rev. Gary, though) to warm up. I learned it from a book by Stefan Grossman "Play Country Blues Guitar." In the book he states that he learned it from Rev. Gary Davis and that the Rev. could no longer remember the words. 'Course if anyone else does, I'd be interested too.
