Roger in Baltimore	Origins/Versions: Matty Groves / Mattie Groves (60* d)	RE: Matty Groves	01 Mar 99
It is alleged that Robert Johnson could carry on a conversation while a song was playing on the juke box and later be able to play the song on guitar with just that one listening. Given how Abe's version is similar but not matching, I can believe he heard the song just once. There are a enough verses to recall the tune fairly easily. His words hit the high points of the song with quite a bit of filler added. Roger in Baltimore
