Mr.OMuck:
Pat Conte's Transcription of a non English speakers version of Robert Johnson's 32-20


Got a safe for my baby, not a thing to do
If I fit it for my bay bee, not a thing to do.
Or the undertaker hops ring, she might can sell her ' do./

I may be zero, Pharisee loom, adieu
If she guess a rule, hey, far i see too-ra-loo.
Take my thirty-dirty two tents and have the catsup hair foot , too./

She got a fetish fish, fashion feelers most too light
She got a fat fat face, she fast fear his moist dew light
I got a sax to send now, man the capsule right./
if i finish for my baby, that a thing to do
on river bed heart sprigs she might cut herself anew./

i may chew my pistil, gal shoot my gal in goo
you may meal it , nigh you will have cold/

aw, baby way you say less night
you got a ewe hat dangling - you got a cookie right

i've a perfect fish-but her shit is foul, well
i got sense of acceptance now it's for burning./

if i fake it for my baby ,manna thin to do
oh the river tied whisks -shhhh- might cut herself anew/

hey hey baby where you say lass nigh
you didn't be that corrupt til the son was shining blight/

ah, boy i just can't can't take my left
with this certain toots sensing, i've a number rest.

Pan:
Gee. that looks a lot like my transcriptions!  >:(

Richard:
I like that, it goes nicely with some (dreadful) animation cobbled on youtube up using the photos of RJ in an animated fashion as he sings.... phew... definitely one for dedicated followers thereof, I should add I didn't look for it but was directed there!

Lyle Lofgren:
I asked him the source (on Facebook), and he sent me this link. I defy anyone to improve on the transcription.

Ｒobert Ｊohnson,32-20 blues.

Bald Melon Jefferson:
Nailed it!

That's even better than playing the old english to french, back to english Bable Fish game.
