Check out John Hartfords version of "Midnight on the water", which comes from this tune methinks...

Tunes varied from one holler to another.

Sounds like "John Henry" and "John Hardy" are part of this tune family. Not to mention "The Battle of New Orleans".

@jculpepper Actually Bonaparte's Retreat isn't related to those tunes at all. It's descended from an Irish march called The Eagles Whistle. The way the SLs play it here, where it sort of ends up sounding like John Henry, is kind of rare.
