Does anyone have the lyrics, chords, tuning or tablature for Von Shmidt's or Rush's version of Turn Your Money Green? Any help with this one would be greatly appreciated.

It's by Furry Lewis and the lyrics are in this threadpart way down. Here's a sound clip of Furry's 1928 version from the Anthology of American Folk Music, which is where Von Schmidt and Rush learned it: SI-Folkways: Furry Lewisand his Yazoo compilationYazoo: Furry Lewis, In His prime, 1927-8

Reference also to "Alabama Women" by Leroy Carr and Scrapper Blackwell.

"First I rode the Central, then I rode the L&N(2x) Them Alabama women, they look like section men"

I think there is also a version in "Stefan Großman's Book of Tunings". No doubt if you do a Google search, you will find it under Stefan Großman soon enough.
