Ole Bull	Origin: Jimmy Crack Corn and I Don't Care (59* d)	RE: Jimmy Crack Corn and I Don't Care	23 Apr 99
Jim Crack Corn is a bootlegger. Cracking the grain is what you do before you prepare the mash. Hence the references to the bottle. This song has obscure and complex origins. It was associated with the Minstrel groups of the 1840 in several different versions, one attributed to Dan Emmett. Because these varients all popped up about the same time one suspects an earlier, unrecorded source.
