Thread Name: Origin: Jim Along Josey / Jim Along Josie
Subject: RE: Jim Along Josie: lyrics and origin
Guest-
I got this info from Slave Dance Songs:
"Jim" is a still common nickname for the male name "James". "Josey" was a common man's or woman's nickname (from "Joseph" or "Josephine"). "Josey" was also the name of an article of under clothing. "Josey" was also used as a name of this dance step.
Does he know something we don't know?
More info please,
Thanks,
Richie
