Recorded in Chicago in September of 1926 with Papa Charlie Jackson six-string banjo & vocals.

*"Gay Cattin'" was written by Charlie Jackson.

A night out on the town soon turns to disappointment as a rounder discovers that he's spent all of his money on a night's worth of fun. The one and only 'Papa' Charlie sings an endearing and (for some of us) all too familiar tale about overspending complete with a definitive moral.
