Jon W. — The book is definitely worth having, but if that song is all you're looking for, check to see if you have hobo classic "All Around The Water Tank," which uses almost exactly the same tune, even if it doesn't use MJH's guitar work.

Charley — I was winging it from memory when I posted that, but I'm fairly sure that's what is in the Stefan Grossman book. I'll check it when I get home tonight.

As for making sense, I think either works but I find that in blues songs the writers'/singers' limited knowledge of standard idiomatic English sometimes makes some pretty odd phrases, which I consider part of the charm of the songs.
