Corrections please. There are only a few words that I can't get. "Cindy In The Meadows" by "Samantha Bumgarner & Eva Jones (or Davis)" Columbia 167 - D Recorded: April 1, 1924 Issued: July 1924 (Fiddle) I asked her if she loved me, She said she loved me some. I throwed my arms around her Like a (?) around a (?) Everything's all right Cindy Cindy in the summertime, Cindy in the fall If I don't get Cindy I'll not marry at all Everything's all right Cindy When I went to see her, She's standing in the door With her shoes and stockings in her hand And her feet all over the floor Everything's all right Cindy. (Fiddle) ? Great big sweet potato While running in the sand She swore I was the biggest fool That lived in Dixon land Everything's all right Cindy. (Fiddle) When I went to see her She wrung her hands and cried When I went I went to leave her She passed away and died. Everything's all right Cindy. |

I think each verse ends with 'Ain't I right Cindy' rather than 'Everything's all right' I also think that Jim Dixon is correct with 'grapevine round a stump' I've always assumed that the fourth verse starts Great big sweet potato I rubbed it in the sand steve |
