Genre: Old Time / Playing Style: Clawhammer and Old-Time
This folk-blues song written by Walter Vinson and Lonnie Chatmon of the Mississippi Sheiks, a popular country blues band of the 1930s. I think it works well with clawhammer banjo. I'm playing a SS Stewart Thoroughbred, circa 1895.

Nice cadence...great tune and voice. My kind of music...the way folk music should sound.

Very nicely played and sung. I alwyas felt the bluegrass versions of this were way too fast, and lost the feel of it. Well done.

Probably one of the best versions I've heard...
