牋牋牋牋牋?Doug Day
of Swan's Island, Maine, tells me that Jones is included on a 78 that
his parents brought back from their honeymoon in Nassau, Bahamas, where they
listened to Blind Blake every night.?In
the original recording a dog (named "Music") that accompanied the
singer at his gigs at the Royal Victorian Hotel is apparently evident on the
record.?I can't remember where I
learned this song.

牋牋牋牋牋?Boys, I had a friend by the name of Jones,
牋牋牋牋牋?牋 and his eyes
they sure was round
牋牋牋牋牋?I took old Jones for my personal pal,
牋牋牋牋牋??don't you see
what Jones has done?
