THE MARROWBONE ITCH*
e. No. 1427. Ace. on guitar by Farmer Collett, sung by Mike Brock, Middle Fork, Leslie County, Ky., 1937.
"My mother used to say that head lice, bedbugs, and the seven-year itch were not a disgrace to have, but a disgrace to keef" |

1 Look out, boys, better wash your hands, Joe's got the itch and don't give a damn, That Marrowbone itch is a-kiilin' me. |

Chorus:
That Marrowbone itch, it's a sight; You have to scratch it day and night.
2 There's poor old Eph, he's a-looking mighty blue, He's got the itch and Roberta have too. That Marrowbone itch is a-killin' me.
^ Pronounced "Mar'bone eetch." |
