Hobo Jungle Blues

Hobo Jungle Blues - Sleepy John Estes
Self-accompanied in C position, standard tuning with Hammie Nixon, harmonica and Brownsville Son Bonds, second guitar

Now, when I left Chicago, I left on that G & M (2)
Then if I reach my home, I have to change over on that L& N

Now, came in on in that Mae West, and I put it down at Chicago Heights
Now, when I came in on that Mae West, I put it down at Chicago Heights
Now, you know, over in hobo jungle, and that's where I stayed the night

Now, if you hobo through Brownsville, you better not be peepin' out (2)
Now, Mr. Whitten will git you, and Mr. Guy Hare will wear you out

Now, out East of Brownsville, about four miles from town (2)
Now, if you ain't got your fare, that's where they will let you down
