Biography:
Huddie Ledbetter (January 20, 1888 - December 6, 1949) was an iconic American folk and blues musician, and multi-instrumentalist, notable for his strong vocals, his virtuosity on the twelve-string guitar, and the songbook of folk standards he introduced.
Although Lead Belly most commonly played the twelve-string, he could also play the piano, mandolin, harmonica, violin, and accordion. In some of his recordings, such as in one of his versions of the folk ballad "John Hardy", he performs on the accordion instead of the guitar.

E7 A
Keep it. I want to go home
+Additional Verses+
The shoes that they give you, they said was mighty fine
Ask for number seven, boy, and they'll give you number nine ooh
The hot dogs that they give you, they said was mighty fine
One rolled of the table boys, and started to march in time ooh
The coffee that they give you, they said was mighty fine
Good for cuts and bruises and tastes like iodine ooh
The biscuits that they give you, they said was mighty fine
One jumped off the table, boys, and it knocked down a pal of mine ooh
The money that they give you, they said was mighty fine
Ask for fifty dollars, boy, and they'll take back forty-nine ooh
