Didn’t see this tab anywhere and it’s a really fun song, good to play for friends and at
and stuff, always gets a laugh. It’s a traditional song, written when you could still
cocaine at the local pharmacy. The Memphis Jug Band first popularized it, then Grateful
and then Old Crow Medicine Show. As its traditional they are all played and sung a
different, but that’s the beauty of traditional music. This is from the Big Iron World
there is also a version on the self titled I believe. Anyways have fun, and if you get a
try it out on the banjo and the slide guitar; both work really well on the song and sound great. Cheers.

Hey, hey, honey take a whiff on me
