This tune is played in the key of E. Blind Lemon Jefferson recorded this in 1927. The vocal melody, the guitar arrangement and the break are unlike anything else he recorded. His guitar breaks are especially interesting. The guitar playing features an alternating bass and sounds almost like Merle Travis's playing! The melody is the same that Woody Guthrie used for his New York Town. Woody in fact borrowed some of Blind Lemon's lyrics.
