_ 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.
This was her grandfather.
He played the fiddle and the banjo, the guitar.
He played the quills, which is a hand-type instrument.
He also played the pipe.
And [A] he played with a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful group that was able to tour all the way from Mississippi all the way up to Memphis and to Virginia.
_ And so _ this is one of their pieces here.
This [B] is their [Gbm] version of Skillet Good [E] and Greasy.
[A] Keep My Skillet Good [E] and Greasy all the [A] time. _ _

Don't give a bit of that rabbit dog anyway. _
[D] Get away, _ [A] get away.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
I saw one time two old ladies, don't care about the dirt.
_ Don't keep my eyes on you.
If I can't, if I can't, don't know where. _ _ _ _ _ _ _

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.
Don't give a bit of that rabbit dog. _ _
Get [D] away, _ [A] get away. _

I know for sure, Lord, I ain't got no rabbit dog.
Don't keep my skillet good, if I can't, if [D] I _ can't, don't [A] know where. _
