This is terrific stuff. Beautiful tune.  When was it recorded?

Probably 1977 or 78. I recorded a couple of versions - the one where I play guitar, and the one on the Pine Breeze 006 LP that just has Eldia doing solo. Eldia said he learned it from his father. His mother also played fiddle (and so did oldest brother Jim, and sister Elzia - who Roy Acuff tried to get to join his band - Elzia was the best fiddler of the family, according to both Eldia and Oscar.) Elzia children are the Bice Family which I have on my site.

@citicoron It may be from something Scottish... try Child Ballad tunes
