12-stringer Lyr Req: Going Up North (John Jackson) (3) RE: Lyr Req: 'Going up North' - John Jackson 20 Jan 13


"Chickens on my back
Run in that shanty 'fore day."

"Mmm, hmm, yeah,
Runnin' me home 'fore day."

The "Oh me oh my" verse is a little harder to hear, but to me it sounds like he's saying, "Don't you let a dime go by." I used to know another song in the tradition which expressed the same sentiment but I can't recall what it is, without a guitar in my lap.
