Chris C	Lyr Req: Rabbit Foot Blues (Blind Lemon Jefferson) (15)	RE: Lyr Req: Rabbit Foot Blues (Blind Lemon)	16 Nov 02
Sorcha: Thanks for the bump! Thanks also to Richie. I bet the words do show up in other songs. The sample mp3 you can play for free is only 30 secs; the words I need aren't included. However, your info is very helpful. I'll get the Casey Bill Weldon CD asap. I did some more research, and I see the Memphis Jug Band also does "Hitch Me To Your Wagon". I found an mp3 by a contemporary band doing the song, and their words are (approx): "Hitch me to your buggy/Drive me like a mule...You can whip me if you wanna but I ain't gonna be your fool". Works fine, but definiatly not what Blind Lemon Jefferson sings. Also, upon repeated listenings, I think Jefferson IS sticking closely to the lyrics as published. I'm just missing that last line. Suggestions still welcome!
