Grinning In Your face

traditional arranged by Hans Theessink (from the singing of Son House) recording of 1989 from Johnny & The Devil, Don't you mind people grinning in your face Don't you mind people grinning in your face There's one thing to bear in mind A true friend is hard to find Don't you mind people grinning in your face Your mother she may talk about you Your brothers and your sisters they will talk about you, too No matter how you're trying to live They will talk about you still Don't you mind people grinning in your face Don't you mind people grinning in your face They'll jump you up and they jump you down They'll try to turn you 'round and 'round As soon as you turn your back around They'll try and crush you down Don't you mind people grinning in your face Don't you mind people grinning in your face

I cleaned up my tab for Sonny Boy's Help Me and made it into a short book. There's a Kindle version for 99 cents, and if you buy the paperback you get the Kindle free.
