Notes

This is the version played by George Wilson. Though Benny Thomasson is listed as the copywright holder, I've been told this tune was actually composed by his father, Luke Thomasson. It's been recorded many times, including versions on "The Hammered Dulcimer" by Fennig's All-Stars (Front Hall Records); by Jay Ungar on "Songs, Ballads & Fiddle Tunes" (Philo); and on "Goin' to Town" by Jim Johnson, 6937 Salem Rd, Cincinnati, OH 45230.
