Old Joe's Barroom (Saint James Infirmary, The Unfortunate Rake) Traditional Banjo Lesson

Get the Tab 👉   / cliftonhicks  
[gCGBD] I learned "Saint James Infirmary Blues" from a 1960s recording of Dock Boggs titled "Old Joe's Barroom." My instrument is an 1888 Luscomb banjo by Thompson & Odell of Boston. Eddie Haggard called this tuning "Two-Finger C."

I work in these old coal mines
Sunday's and all night long,
Trying to provide for my wife and my baby
But now she done took it and gone.

On my grave let the dice-rollers hustle
Let the black-headed women sing songs,
Fill my casket with moonshine whiskey
I want to drink as the hearse rolls on.
