Simon has kindly provided a tutor for Walkin' in My Sleep:

Pain in my fingers, pain in my toes
Pain in my ankle bone, I ain't a-gonna work no more.

Walkin' in my sleep, baby, walkin' in my sleep
Just down the Dixie line, just walkin'in my sleep.

When you see that gal of mine, just tell her if you can,
..............pick up bread, and wash those dirty hands.

When you see that gal of mine, just tell her if you please,
Its whener'd you go to make up dough, roll those dirty sleeves.

The attendies of the July meet up seemed interested in June Apple. Below are the lyrics.

Wish I was a June Apple
Hanging on a tree
Every time my true love passed
She'd take a little bite of me

Going across the mountain
I'm Going in a swing
When I get on the other side
I'm gonna hear my woman sing

Don't you hear that banjo saying
I wish that gal was mine
Can't you hear that banjo saying
I wish that gal was mine

Charlie he's a nice young man
Charlie he's a dandy
Charlie he's a nice young
He feeds the gals on candy

Over the river to feed my sheep
Over the river Charlie
Over the river to feed my sheep
Feed them on barley

Wish I had some sticks and poles
Build my chimney higher
Ever time it rains or snows
Puts out all my fire
