NOTES [67 words]: The chord progression of the Dunbars' recordings follows one of the "Salty Dog" chord progression versions: VI-II-V-I. The verses are all floaters; one more is "Here comes a man with his hat in his hand Looking for a woman ain't got no man." In that regard, see Notes to "Vesta and Mattie's Blues." (Incidentally, the recording year being 1954, sis's "twist" is not the popular dance of the 1960s) - BS
