_ _ I got that blasted shoe string out of my way there.
_ _ _ This man on the other guitar comes from Morrisville, North Carolina.
Brother Jack Lawrence is making business as well as he can be.
Let's hear it for him. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ Some of my [F#] favorite memories are [B] people like John Hurt that I met back over the years
and the days of the folk festivals.
I learned some mighty good music from John and Mance [C#] Lipscomb and a lot of the other
_ people I listened to.
_ _ _ _ _ Merle and I [G] first met [F] John in 1964 at the Berkley Folk Festival.
I'd heard some of his records before then.
[C#] _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ I like to do one of Brother John's tunes.
_ _ To me this is one of John's tunes.
Somebody [E] else claimed the copyright but I think John recorded it [F] before he was supposed
[D] to have written it.
So, you know how that goes. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ John recorded [G] it in the late 20s, Jerry, on an early recording.
This fellow was supposed to have written it in [C] 1934.
[A] _ _ [D] _ _ I'm telling you my friend Jerry Riggs said this.
Anyhow, anyway, when me [G#m] and Jack play this we don't [G] attempt to copy _ the old [G#]-timers like John.
We just some kind of pick it like [B] me and Jack and hope you enjoy it.
