[Am] This next number we're going to do for you folks is a piece called [Ebm] Keep My Skillet [F] Good and Greasy.
Now this is one of those tunes that you find in the blues [E] world and the hillbilly world when you're looking at a lot of these old recordings.
[Bb] It was the first record made [Am] by Uncle Dave Macon, who was one of the most [A] famous banjo players to ever be at the Grand Ole Opry stage and also in a recording studio.
Also it's known as a tune called Rabbit in a Log, which you hear a lot of Mississippi blues players play as well.
And so this is a version we got from Sid Hemphill.
And some of you that know blues music may know Jessie May Hemphill, who passed away [Gb] a few years back.

Don't make it be my end, I beg.
If [D] I can't, [A] don't know where.
I know for sure, Lord, I ain't got no rabbit dog.
