Lonesome Gillette Origins: Old Dan Tucker (73* d) Old Dan Tucker 02 Nov 00

When I was in grade school we had to sing "Old Dan Tucker" in music class. I've been thinking of doing the song now but had a question about it.
Why don't I ever hear this song at old time or bluegrass jams. Is it one of those songs like Oh Susannah, Rocky Top, This Land Is Your Land, you know... that people just don't play because they got overplayed to death OR is is just not played much? Either way I'm going to play it.
Also was there a famous popular recording(s)of it?
