Topic: Sleepy John Estes Lyrics

Thanks for the explanation, Chris. I was thinking that when he said glass, he was referring to the glass John was drinking from. You've cleared it all up, and I'll make those changes.

My input,

1.2 -and- don't hit the sidewalk at all

2.1 (done) -and- roll up your glass

Last verse,

I think he sings either "his white corn" or "this white corn"

What would be the meaning of "bad" instead of "bet"?

[banjochris]

BV – he means that Mr. Buddy is tough, cracking down on the crap games and also on making moonshine.

[Johnm]

I agree with the changes you suggested for verses one and two, Blues Vintage, and in 2.1 I would also change "boy" to "Bud".
