True, but I'm not very good at typing at 1:46 AM.....but listening to the Jimmie Driftwood recording again, I still hear the word "tight." Although the word "fight" seems to fit better, it's repeated in the next line - and that's unlikely. So, I don't really know what Jimmie Driftwood is singing there.
Note up above that Bill Cameron says "got in a plight" - that makes sense, but I still hear "tight."
