Subject: RE: Jug Band and Skiffle Song Lyrics and Chords
Janie: The Even Dozen Jug Band's album "The Even Dozen Jug Band," originally released as an LP by Elektra in 1964, has been reissued as a CD by Collector's Choice Music in 2002. I was able to transcribe this from a couple of sound samples: (I don't know if the verses are in the right order.)

Old Aunt Jane's got a bad tale to tell.
She can't sell what she used to sell
'Cause it's all worn out, 'cause it's all worn out.
Can't nobody use it 'cause it's all worn out....

Old Uncle Jim's got a load on his mind.
Soon he's gonna leave this old world behind
'Cause it's all worn out, 'cause it's all worn out.
Can't nobody use him 'cause it's all worn out.

He went to the doctor with his head in his hands....
