peregrina Lyr Req: Hobart Smith's Cuckoo - one early verse (18) RE: Lyr Req: Hobart Smith's Cuckoo - one early verse 02 Feb 14


Yes, it seems to have elements of Stewball/Skewball and the name Kimball could be from there. Unless it's Kiper from some versions of Molly and Tenbrooks.I think this song tends to be a fairly unstructured grouping, often with floating verses found elsewhere, and in the Appalachians, almost no plot. It really sounds as if here Hobart was doing something different with it.
Wiretap studio shows such a complete break that I'm even wondering about editing to remove a rude word.
