Big Ball's in Boston

Freight Hoppers with David Bass fiddling Big Ball's in Brooklyn.

Key of G. Lyrics include 1 chorus and 1 verse but both parts are the same. Also called "Big Ball's in Brooklyn" and "Big Ball's in Cowtown" and "Big Ball in Town."

This was performed by the Skillet Lickers in the 1920s [utoob]. We have the CD box set. There is a short clip here.
Jug band [utoob] does the Skillet Lickers version.
Hot Club of Cowtown trio live [utoob].
Electric blugrass [utoob] but nice singing.
Texas swing with drums [utoob] but three fiddles.

Lyrics

Working on the railroad, Sleeping on the groundEating soda crackers, Ten cents a pound.Big Ball's in Boston, Big Ball's in town.Big Ball's in Boston, Can't dare sit down.
