We copped it from the album "Hey Buddy" by the Tallboys, whoever the heck thay are. Anyway... anyone know if there are lyrics for this sucker? Gratzi. |

The Fiddler's Companion says the tune is also known as OVER THE ROAD TO MAYSVILLE and gives some background. John Hartford recorded it on his album "Wild Hog in the Red Brush," 1996. |
