No, kinda weird compilation from JSP. Bluesmen playing sort of in the syle of Fuller maybe.
There are no photos of either The Sheik or Jones that I know of.

Is it still possible to buy a Lemon Jefferson license plate in Texas?

I don't think so Lindy, I do not see it listed anywhere and the Texas Music Foundation has another plate they rep.  I'm sure it was not a big seller, although very cool.  After a few years, they sent me a duplicate set of plates - I assume because they were no longer going to make them.

PS that's almost as hard as transcribing "oh the joy" in "I Am in the Heavenly Way."

Lost track of the verses, if you can call it that


2.3 Can't get my pay(check) -child or chile-, I want it

Ain't this a prize, -she'll never knowed/loved-

When I started to work over [the land] -the man-

5.3 When I find that man, he's somewhere -layin', hiding in the bushes and hiding from me-

-Lord- gonna pay me some day.
Good Lord (gon') -don't- pay me my money."

Praise (y'all) -Shorty-

I kill myself and -y'all-

don't want to pay me my money -nowhere-

You -don't- tell me some lie
