I always thought it was "brandy and snuff" but i'm sure that's wrong--I've known the song for years and I was probably so young that my controlled-substances vocabulary was limited. I've got it on _the Red Clay Ramblers w/ Fiddlin' Al McCandless_, which is probably my all-time favorite record and is available on CD through Folkways, I think (I got it on efolkmusic.com). I've also got it on Jay Ungar's _Catskill Mountain Goose Chase_, which I don't believe has been reissued (unfortunately). I like the RCR version better but they're pretty similar; the RCR one is livelier.
