Start Jamming...
Well now, I'm a-playing now on this here harmonica.
That, I bought them when I was a boy.
The first one I ever tried to blow on was a little boy.
And it costed 15 cents and this was found in an old house, maybe where Jack stayed.
Jack could have played on it for as I know it.
Now I try his film.
And that's reading, he could be 70 or 80 years old or maybe 100.
This harp come out of Germany.
And the frets in it of the brass play better yet today on the coarse part than Iron Newton by new now.
And lasted that way and it was found in an old house.
And I got a hold of it in a junk pile before they pitched it off.
And [A] so this is Ruben [C] that I played and learned on it as I come up with the trying.
And so here now I play it this way sometimes.

[C] [G] [C]
Oh, I'll pawn you my watch.
And I'll pawn you my chain.
And I'll [C#] pawn you my gold diamond ring.
You can count the days I'm gone.
You can see the train that I leave on.
You can hear the whistle blow 100 miles.

Oh, the chickens on my back.
And them hounds on my track.
Lord, I'll never make it to my shiny home.

[C] [G] [C]
Oh, Ruben made a wreck.
Kill my darlin' I expect.
Lord, I'll never make a livin' this way.
I'm going to the shack.
With my chicken on my back.
And them bloodhounds on my tracks.
Lord, I'll never make a livin' this way.
[F#] [C] If [G]
[C]
the bollard don't bust.
Because it's eat up with rust.
We'll soon be a long ways from home.
