kudos to mister Frank S. Hurrat for emailing notification that this track is actually a Furry Lewis composistion, which he cross referenced from another cover of it on an old Pentangle LP. Furry was born in the 1890's & was a one legged liquored up boozy bluesman legend of Memphis until his death in 1981. He was a musician and a colorful character, whose life provides a fountain of stories, including his links to medicine shows, Memphis Minnie, W.C Handy and even a bit part in a 1975 Burt Reynold's / Jerry Reed flick called W.W & The Dixie Dance Kings.

On their SWEET CHILD lp, Pentangle recorded a song called "Turn Your Money Green" that they credited to Furry Lewis. It is very possible that Alice Stuart was familiar with this song.
