I have honestly never heard this version until now, I had only heard the Alison Kraus version. Honestly, I love both versions. I dig the whistle!

Bravo man.Bravo.

I think you have the only version of this tune on youtube that isn't a cover of that awful watered down Alison Kraus version. Great job here.

@jccoldtime23 Thanks, i agree with you about Alison Kraus version, i hate it too and didn't include it in my post on "The Lazy Farmer boy" variations.I play also the version included in the Antholgy. The one i play here i learned from Pete Seeger.

Beautiful!

I usually sing this ballad unaccompanied, after the version on the Harry Smith collection.

I love what you did with the banjo and whistle.

Thanks, i also love the version on the Anthology (by the way, i have a blog dedicated to the Harry Smith Anthology, it's called "The Old, Weird America")....

[banjoteeth]

what tuning are you in here?

[gadaya]

Regular G tuning (gDGBD) The song alternates between G major and E minor so it's relatively easy to play.

Pete Seeger has some amazing stuff. Great job! I like the added whistle.
