Anyone ever notice Pierce's line "gonna buy me a gun just as long as my arm" in this song is similar to Jimmie Rodgers' "I'm gonna buy me a pistol just as long as I'm tall" in Blue Yodel No. 1?
Dunno if this is a common phrase in country or blues, but I do know Pierce borrowed a lot of lines and songs from classic country and blues artists.
