I remember whe Peggy Seeger first came to the Princess Louise back in the she used to do a cante-fable version back in the 1950s. The traveller came upon the old man playing one phrase of the tune on his banjo. The question & answer followed, punctuated by this repeated riff eg "Why don't you sit inside?" "Roof leaks" "Why don't you fix it" "Don't want to get wet" "Fix it when the sun shines" "Don't leak then"... &c

Eventually the traveller asks why the old man is only playing half the tune. "|All I learnt of it from this pld guy who passed by"
"I can teach you the rest of that tune, farmer."
"What, son. You play the banjo! Sadie, blow up the fire, put on some oat cakes and a steak or two. We got Company! Now then, son; teach me the rest ot this tune!"

Whole of Arkansas Traveler tune then played as finale.
