Don't like to do this too often but here is a lyrically very different version of the song I posted further below.
"Ya know I promised the Good Lord, mama, not to dig no coal
I'm goin' up country, baby, gonna find myself a jellyroll*. . ."
Chris Smither
Statesboro Blues
"They got children in the pulpit, mama they tryin' to learn a song
That low down dirty deacon done stole my gal and gone. . ."
* in Blues vernacular "jellyroll" is slang for a lover or sex
