Sorry, but you're both a couple of fucktards; even worse, however, you're a misguided pedant.

This song is an old Appalachian dirge that's been recorded as early as the 20s, and its roots go way, way back before that, possibly as early as the 1770s, which was not an era known for spelling or grammatickal (yes I did that on purpose) consistency. Furthermore, Appalachia is not a region known for spelling and grammatical consistency.

So both of you stfu and enjoy the song.

I loooooooooooooooove all y'all's rambling. it delights me, especially since i come from kentucky.

no comment now, aside from this...........even though from the birthplace of this song? was not until years after camper sang it that I found out its origins. makes it even more fun having both ralph stanley and camper in my head. makes me happy to know that bluegrass standards can be as useful as big band/sinatra,e tc.

ummm ok, whatever the hell you guys are fighting over. This is the best version of this track, no matter how far back it dates to. O! Oh! Oh hell yeah.

Everyone who has sung this song will die. Everyone who sings this song will die. Everyone who will sing this song will someday die.

Learn English. "Oh" is an exclamation. "O" is used when addressing someone. Read some fucking poetry, moron.

The Ralph Stanley version of this song is fantastic!
