Does anyone know the guitar chords for this old Jimmie Rodgers song, "Any Old Time". I know it well from Maria Muldaur's version, but am less familiar with the original. Chords / lyrics of either (if different) would be appreciated.

Thanks, as always.

Norman

This one?

Call round any old time and make yourself at home,
Put your feet on the mantle-shelf,
Tune in your wireless and help yourself,
We don't care if your friends have left you all alone
Rich or poor, knock at the door,
and make yourself at home

Looks like Leadfingers isn't a music hall fan.
The third line by the way should read:
          "Open the larder and help yourself"

All togerther now.

It's this one, as posted (thanks!) by Leadfinger:

"I just received your letter;
You're down-and-out, you say.
At first I thought I would tell you
To travel on the other way.

But in my memory lingers
All you once were to me.
I'm going to give you another chance
To prove what you can be.

Any old time, you want to come back home
Drop me a line, and say no mo' you'll roam.
You had your chance, to play the game fair.
When you left me, sweetheart, you only left a load of care.

Now that you're down,
I'm going to stick by you.
If you will only say

Your roaming days are through.
You'll find me here, like the day you left me alone.
Any old time, you want to come back home."

Anyone know the guitar chords?

ANY OLD TIME
(Jimmie Rodgers)

Oh, ley-he-ee, ah-le-oh-lay-he-he

D'yo-del-ay-he-he, d'yo-del-ay-hee.

I just received your letter;
You're down-and-out, you say.
At first I thought I would tell you
To travel on the other way.

But in my memory lingers
All you once were to me.
I'm going to give you another chance
To prove what you can be.

Any old time, you want to come back home
Drop me a line, and say no mo' you'll roam.
You had your chance, to play the game fair.
When you left me, sweetheart, you only left a load of care.

Now that you're down,
I'm going to stick by you.
If you will only say

Your roaming days are through.
You'll find me here, like the day you left me alone.
Any old time, you want to come back home.

(instrumental bridge -- mostly cornet, violin, clarinet)

You'll find me right here, like the day you left me alone.
Any old time, you want to come back home.
(home, home)

Sorry, but there were a few minor differences in these lyrics. However, I am having NO luck with chords/music.

Thanks Peace / Bruce

What key do you think "Oh, ley-he-ee, ah-le-oh-lay-he-he" is in? If I wanted to start with the opening note to try & work it out then that yodel would send me all over the place.

If it's a blue yodel then maybe I should start with a flattened 5th. But then again maybe I'll just stick to "In The Jailhouse Now" 'cos I know that one

This is the Maria Muldaur version as I heard it quite awhile ago:
Intro

G/D7/G/E7/A7/D7/G/D7 (this starts with a 3rd position G chord and descends back to the first position)

[G]I just recieved your letter [C] You're down and out you [G]say,
At[C] first I thought I would [G]tell you[E,E7] to [A7]travel on the other[D7] way.
[G]But in my memory[G7] lingers [C]all you once were to[Gdim] me.
[G]I'm gonna give you[E7] one more chance [A7]to prove what[D7] you can[G]be.

[G]Any old time you want to come back home[G7],
[C]Drop me a line and say no more you'll[[G] roam.
You had your [D7]chance to [G]play the game fair,
[A]But when you left me sweetheart
[D]You only left a world of care.

[G]Now that you're [G7]down [C]I'm gonna stick by[G] you,
[C]If you will only [G]tell me[E7] that your [A7]roving days are
[D7]through.
[G]You'll find me [G7]here like the day you left me [C]alone,
Any old [G][E7]time[A7] you want to[D7] come back [G]home.

Outro same as intro

What a great tune. Hope this helps.

I grew up on the bluesy-jazzy Rodgers version. These are the chords & lyrics I use. I play it on autoharp.:

[G]I just recieved a letter You're [D7] down and out you [G]say,
At [G] first I thought I would tell you to [A7]travel on the other[D7] way.
But [G] in my memory lingers [G7]all you once were to[C] me.
[A7]I'm gonna give you [E7] another chance [D7]to prove what you can[G]be. [D7]

[G]Any old time you want to [G]7come back home,
[C]Drop me a line and say no [C7]more you'll [G] roam.
[D7] You had your chance to play the game [G]fair,
[A7] When you left me sweetheart
[D7]You only left a load of care.

[G]Now that you're [G7]down [C]I'm gonna stick by[G] you,
If [A7] you will only say your [D7]roamin' days are
[G]through.[D7]
[G]You'll find me here like the [G7]day you left me [C]alone,
Any old [D7]time you want to come back [G C7 G]home.
