"I learned this song when I spent sometime learning the Ukelele down in the Mississippi Delta, an old friend of mine "Charlie Pratterson" taught it to me and after I learned it I could never forget it, it was the saddest song I ever heard; goes a little something like this"
One Finger Louie he don't
Sing the blues
One Finger Louie
He don't
Sing the blues
He had another finger
He don't have nothing left to lose
Well, Jeremiah Jackson he don't
Live next door
Yes, Jeremiah Jackson he don't
Live next door
I caught him peaking at my woman
Had to give him the ol' what for
That's right, you know what I mean
(I can understand that!)
Take me on back to the Delta
Yeah, my sister Betty she don't
Pay no rent
Yes my sister Betty she don't
Pay not rent
She gets her check on Monday
By Tuesday the money's all spent
[Solo]
(That's right... just can't keep it in her pocket)
Put me out of my misery
Mm...
