Re: "Mule Skinner Blues" Made Me Think Of This One......

That is a song me and Easybeat sang as teenagers walking around our local area late at night. We always enjoyed trying to sing a song or two when our throats were lubricated after a beer or two. We had some very easy going friend's perants who were would indulge our  teenage attempts  at party singing.

Lonnie Donegan - Probably the only guy to have a grammy winning song that is very popular campfire fodder.  Hard to imagine how many campfires "Battle of New Orleans" has been played around.  My brother and I used to listen to "Chewing Gum" when we were knee high to grasshoppers.
