Does anyone sing this song any more?
I used to have an album with Peggy and Mike Seeger singing it together.
And later I remember seeing a Dictionary of Folk Music a letter from Mike and Peggy as little kids to Earl Scruggs requesting that he sang it on the radio.
Its a bluegrass variant of the folksong Springfield Mountain. Theres only a very drippy version of Springfield Mountain on Youtube.
someone mentioned a woodchuck in the bs thread about nutria and I seem to remember a woodchuck in the lyrics of FOD.
