This song is called "Mobile Line". I learned the song at a music camp class on jug band music from a cool musician named Peter Langston.
According to Peter, this song was written in 1927 by Papa Harvey Hull and this arrangement is from a 1960s recording by the Kweskin Jug Band.
Busking Jug Band music

Very catchy tune.( as Bob said )
Nice set up going there.Playing standing up,Mic's is in a good spot for catching the vocals.Not only a good job at the chord changes.But I don't think I saw you look down for a single chord change.BRAVO!!!
Looking forward to your next performance.

Thanks all for watching and for the comments:
Sandy, Bob, Jay - Yes, it is a fun tune
Daryl, Vanessa - thanks for the continued support. I have been working on my strumming and playing with a pick - even started taking lessons with a local teacher
Ron - in the class where I learned this, only the instructor played guitar - the students just sang or played kazoo or washboard or made mouth noises with jugs or glasses. The original jug bands were street musicians who mostly didn't have real instruments.
Kevin - I have to tell myself to look at the camera and not at my left hand. Noticed that I only smiled when I screwed up the lyrics.
