Pinetop Slim	Lyr ADD: Red Rocking Chair / Sugar Babe (38)	Lyr Add: SUGAR BABE	04 Aug 01
Similar to Boggs' "Country Blues" is "Sugar Babe," which Wayne Erbsen, in Backpocket Old Time Song Book, identifies as a variant of Red Apple Juice and Red Rocking Chair (I think Maria Muldaur recorded another variant as "Honey Babe.") 1. Some old rounder comes along Took my sugar babe and gone And I ain't got no sugar baby now No, I ain't got no sugar baby now 2. I gave her every cent I made, And I laid her in the shade And I ain't got no sugar baby now No, I ain't got no sugar baby now 3.It's who'll call you honey And it's who'll sing this song? And it's who'll rock the cradle when I'm gone? Who'll rock the cradle when I'm gone? 4. I ain't got no use for Your red rocking chair. And I ain't got no sugar baby now No, I ain't got no sugar baby now ---And we're still miles from Jericho --
