No, this one's not in the DT, but the tune is a start. As per another thread I got this one from a Jim Kweskin/Mel Lynam album. Would be obliged if someone could provide the lyrics. Have I heard Maybelle Carter sing this? I was sure that it was on 'Will The Circle Be Unbroken' with Nitty Gritty Dirt Band plus numerous friends, but couldn't see it there.
