My dad used to sing a song called "Goodbye Melindy". It's a parody of old-time stringband songs, and presumably he learned it from a record. Appalachian music wasn't well-known in the area here my dad grew up (Bracebridge, Ontario).

I don't need help with the lyrics or melody (how could I ever forget?), but I'm curious as to whether anyone else has heard of the song and knows anything about it. Info, anyone?
