Thread Name: Lyr Req: Garbage Man (from Rory Gallagher)
Subject: Looking for Blues Lyrics
Many years ago I saw the late great Irish blues player Rory Gallagher. He did a blues song that started

My baby left me, she ran off with the Garbageman, x2 Now I ain't got nobody, to take away my trash can"

Some of the best blues lyrics I've ever heard, but I don't know the name of the song and can't remember the rest of the lyrics.

I was speaking to an old blues harp player the other day and he remembers having heard the song and feels that it is quite old and originally done by a big name blues man, but couldn't remember who.

I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could get me these lyrics and perhaps let me know if Rory ever recorded it or if they know who else may have.
