Mudcatters, while I'm visiting I have another question. I am looking for lyrics (if they exist) for a traditional song called "Take Me Back" (yes, I know there is a modern one with that title--that's not the one). I learned it from a Steve James book called "Roots and Blues Fingerstyle Guitar." Here is all the info he gives:

"The venerable "Take Me Back," a favorite of the ragtime era, is such a piece. It's been recorded by Texas greats Mance Lipscomb and Lemon Jefferson (who called it "Beggin' Back") and Memphis master Frank Stokes. Primal songster and one-man band Henry Thomas used its circular melody in his "Bob McKinney," and it bears a strong resemblance to other 19th century standards--notably "Creole Belles."

I very much enjoy playing this melody, and would like to have traditional words to go with it. If anyone knows either the "Take Me Back" or "Bob McKinney" lyrics, I'd much appreciate them.
