Hi My name is Joe, and I found this song on an album discussing the roots of music wheb I was 10.It was called Little Red Wing and I played it over and over on the piano. Riley Pickuett , an early folk musicians played this song to his mother and father in 1929.Kerry Mills had not done it yey but Thurland Chattaway had written a tune based on an 1888 folk melody. iHenry Burr and Len Spencer recorded this in 1907 and there have been many songs to this tune.
