CarlZen | Origins: Cotton-eyed Joe-true story/composite? (133* d) | RE: Cotton-eyed Joe-true story/composite? | 08 Sep 99 |
Cotton Eyed Joe is also a fairly standard fiddle tune in many folk's repertoire. Like so many fiddle tunes with alternate songs that share the same tune and title, I often wonder which came first. I often thought that the tunes had been around until someone like Jimmy Driftwood came around and added a rhyming story to it. But in some cases it may have worked the other way around. |
