Here's something in the same neck of the woods, a version of "Cindy" that I had never seen before. It comes from THE SINGIN' GATHERIN', by Jean Thomas and Joseph A. Leeder, published by Silver Burdett Co. in 1939 (Students' Edition), from the singing and playing of Fox Fraley in Lawrence County, Kentucky, June 1911.

When I was a little lad
About six inches high,
I used to court the pretty girls,
To hear the old folks cry;

Get along down, down Big Sandy,
Get along down, down Big Sandy,
Get along down, down Big Sandy,
That's the place for you.

The say:

"This is a lively tune used with the fiddle. The "Big Sandy" referred to is the river by that name which has inspired many tunes and ballads. It empties into the Ohio River at Catlettsburg, Kentucky, the latter made famous by "Show Boat." The Big Sandy region is the richest in coal and oil in the State of Kentucky, and long before the railroad connected it with the Ohio Valley region, mountain folk traveled it by flat boat, and before that time on "push" boats."
