Spence is one of my favorites. I've been trying to track down a source for lyrics of the songs he performed for sometime now as his own singing is pretty much undecipherable. Let me know if you find anything John and at some point you might want to check out what I think are his best recordings "Bahaman Folk Guitar Joseph Spence" on Folkways. These are field recordings done by Sam Charters and Mel Bay has a combination CD (expanded from the original vinyl)/ tab folio available.
