Here's how I play it. I like the changes a lot, but ws having trouble with the words. Thanks to cnd, I can now add this to my repertoire:

Consumptive Sarah Jane - Blind Blake Higgs

She [F] promised to [F7] meet me while the [Bb] clock strikes seven[Bbm]teen
[F] Down by the [D7] stockyard, so [G7] many miles a[C]way
Where [F] string beans and [F7] onions sell at [Bb] seventeen cents a [Bbm] pound
She's my [F] freckle[D7]faced con[G7]sumptive [C7] Sara [F] Jane [F#7] [G7] [C7]

She is my [Bb] lady, my [Bbm] baby, she's [F] cross-eyed and she's [F7] crazy[F#7]
She had a [G7] banjo belly, a [F#7] parrot [G7] toe
[C stop] Her grandma made her sleep outdoors
Some [F] say her breath was [F7] sweet but I'd [Bb] rather smell her [Bbm] feet
She's my [F] freckle[D7]faced con[G7]sumptive [C7] Sara [F] Jane [F#7] [G7] [C7]

She is my [Bb] honey, she got [Bbm] money, she's a [F] good gal but she's [F7] funny [F#7]
She got [G7] iron hands, [F#7] crooked [G7] feet
She [C stop] don't like fish, but she's crazy about me
Some [F] say her teeth was [F7] false from [Bb] drinking Epson [Bbm] salts
She's my [F] freckle[D7]faced con[G7]sumptive [C7] Sara [F] Jane [F#7] [G7] [C7]

Some [F] say her teeth was [F7] false from [Bb] drinking Epson [Bbm] salts
She's my [F] freckle[D7]faced con[G7]sumptive [C7] Sara [F] Jane [F#7] [G7] [C7]

Some [F] say her breath was [F7] sweet but I'd [Bb] rather smell her [Bbm] feet
She's my [F] freckle[D7]faced con[G7]sumptive [C7] Sara [F] Jane [F#7] [G7] [C7] [F]
