Incredible to find out that there are no Alberta Hunter Songs on here.

So, am happy to put up this fantastic old blues tune.

This version is from Alberta Hunter' album AMTRAK BLUES, if you enjoy

rollickin', good time blues? You could do worse than giving it a listen.

Another small thing, in the lyrics it mentions a place called Pencil Yard,

am pretty sure this should be Pensacola Yard, bit needed to be shortened

to fit in the metre of the song.
G = 320003
C = X32010
D = XX0232
The TACET in the last verse means play the D Chord once, then Stop
