12-stringer Origin: Bow Wow Blues (Allen Brothers) (14) RE: Origin: Bow Wow Blues (Allen Brothers) 11 Jun 12


The HHS are doing a slightly tinkered version of the 1922 Cliff Friend -Nat Osborne pop song (the "howl" and "growl" lines are switched, e.g.), and the score gives the lyric just as you have it: "She led me a dog's life then she, Tied a can to me."

Richie linked the sheet music in an '07 post but the URL has changed in the interim, so here's the new one in case someone wants a look before it changes again: http://webapp1.dlib.indiana.edu/metsnav/inharmony/navigate.do?oid=http://fedora.dlib.indiana.edu/fedora/get/iudl:351109/METADATA

Words and music but no chords, with verse in G, chorus in C; the cover is a keeper.
