the poison 
    bottle 
                                             a misnomer
tap

              tap


      tap 



        where's the cane sugar?

                   don't stare at the light 
                                   
                                                        is this your guitar?


What did the devil look like?

                   
                                                       the  easy rider died along the road 

some people play in open A 
and capo on the second fret 

Vicksburg,

clean on in to Tennessee

  we'll get your picture taken at the drugstore               

you can make a slide from an old Mateus Rose bottle                                



he showed me his tremolo technique

                                                     it was very clean 

                                                         use the thumb as the anchor, 
the pivot               

            
                              you see? like that



try not to bang it against the neck                                          
 you can mimic the melody 

                               see? you better come on 

                                                                           in my kitchen

it was at the Dockery Plantation 
   
                                                                     not Webb Jennings
that was 

old Tommy Johnson

 the one who really sold his soul
   the poison bottle 

lied 

                      John the Conqueror root 

rub that root boy

    or maybe it was the
  


                                                           Star of the West Plantation 


They carried him to Tush Hog’s house                                                     

he was told to bury him


                                                Rosie Estridge said no you wait and went and got Jack Star

     she called him Jack Leg Preacher



Tap

I got women in Vicksburg 
    clean on in to
