That's actually not a bad version at all. But I agree with nimrod, the original 'Don't Pass Me By' is the worst Beatles song ever recorded to my ears.
You might jes' like bluegrass, then. If'n you'd like to live here in the US, let's all see if'n you can pass this here North Carolina Residency Examination:
NORTH CAROLINA IMMIGRATION SERVICES
During the past few years, North Carolina has seen an incredible influx of immigrants from foreign lands, such as New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and California. Because of our continued practice of southern hospitality, we have allowed all immigrants to enter our state without first ensuring that the immigrant was culturally, spiritually, intellectually, and financially compatible with the other residents of North Carolina. As a result of substandard immigrants entering our state, the North Carolina immigration office has composed the following application/entrance exam. A score of at least 70 percent is required before an immigrant is granted privileges to inhabit any section of North Carolina. An official North Carolina Immigration officer will assist you in filling out the application since several parts of the application require either verbal or physical investigation to ensure adequate entrance level readiness for residency in North Carolina.
