Hurt admits the possibility of his violent tendencies and attempts to get his lady-friend back through a letter with promises of him being a better man. That said, the lyrics are pretty violent and in-your-face. Even though Hurt's personal relationships aren't your business, he makes it your business. But, he covers up the intensity of the situation with a relaxing old-folk melody and upbeat fingerpicking chops.Perfect for a lazy, tired Sunday.Download it here:Mississippi John Hurt - "Nobody's Dirty Business"
