Hi Dale

I was hoping to get you to post!!!!! It worked!

These lyrics come from "Paramount Old Time Tunes" An Album of Recordings originally made in the 1920's.

This composition is a remnant of the minstral stage of the mid 19th century--more likely an amalgamation of several such songs than a single piece. Two closely related pieces, collected in North Carolina in the first half of this century are "Banjo Sam" and "Lulu."

This version, which I took liberties with, is by Wilmer Watts and The Lonely Eagles. If you want a cassette, Dale send me an address. The whole recording is a gem. I recently got about 100 old records from a friend's sister. Most of them are new to me and what a neat bunch of old albums. I now have about 5-600 old albums......hg
