This song shares some signature Lead Belly licks with "Easy Rider". Take it easy when you play this song, some of the moves are tricky and things can get away from you easily.
I used the version of the Capitol recordings for the transcription, although other versions are very similar. On the Capitol recordings, the song is known as "Grasshoppers in my Pillow". The Capitol recordings are now available on CD, released around May of 1998 by and English company called The Beat Goes On.
Paul Geremia recorded a version of this song on his Red House CD "Self Portrait In Blues".
