GUEST,OTMurphy | Origins: Cotton-eyed Joe-true story/composite? (133* d) | RE: Cotton-eyed Joe-true story/composite? | 19 Feb 00 |
As an old, very old ex-Kentucky mountain boy, I remember that "had a man" had nothing to do with slavery. My grandfather every fall "got a man" to help him with the hog killing. My grandmother even "got a man" with a mule to help plow the garden plot in the Spring after my grandfather died. And she, as a deep fundalmentalist Christian, would have been shocked to think that getting a man had anything to do with courtship or an affair. OTMURPHY |
