Mark-o Lyr Req: Truckin' My Blues Away (Blind Boy Fuller) (8) Lyr Req: Fuller's Truckin' My Blues Away 20 Oct 14

Hi all

Has anyone been able to decipher the third line from Blind Boy Fuller's 1936 recording of "Truckin' My Blues Away"?

Here's what I've gleaned after a zillion hearings:

I got a gal here in this town, the best looking brown around
I got a gal in this town, the best looking brown around
She's (a ?? ?? to meet ya???) ain't no hand me down
Catch you truckin' with 'em, gonna (sure shoot you down?)

Keep on truckin' mama, truckin' my blues away,
Trucking my blues away

Al the other verses are clear.

Thanks!
