Greetings.
I'm returning to this post to pay my respects to the musical legacy of Jimmie Strothers as well as the musical legacy of Barry Finn, one member of the informal group of Mudcat posters who shared our ideas about the lyrics to this song & who is no longer on this earth today.
Somehow we never did get around to posting a "completed" transcription of this song.
I found a sound file of this song on YouTube and posted it along with that transcription, and some notes about Jimmie Strothers and about that song on my cultural blog at http://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2013/05/jimmie-strothers-poontang-little.html
I also posted a sound file, transcription, and notes of another song performed by Jimmie Strothers "Going To Richmond". The link for that post is http://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2013/05/jimmie-stouthers-going-to-richmond-with.html
Additions and corrections to each of these transcriptions & to my notes are welcome.
I'll post what I think was the agreed upon lyrics to Jimmie Strother's "Poontang Little, Poontang Small" in my next comment to this thread.
