This song creeps me out alittle, at least this version, mainly because it's a cappella and the sound quality is bad, so it sounds like it belongs in a horror film. But I like how these lyrics are different from The Animals' version.
-
The oldest known existing recording is by Texas Alexander, recorded in 1927 for Okeh Records. The song went through many changes before The Animals sang it. They reused an old English ballad tune for the song and changed the lyrics. The lyrics AND melody have be changed, added to, and removed many time.

@irishhoodlum000 this news story quotes a man that day in 1937, and another relative, Gillis Turner.

@typoamoungus, in 2000 the SEATTLE TIMES quotes a man who was there with 16-y-old Georgia Turner in 1937, & another relative, Gillis Turner. Lots of info re the ancient & modern history of the song.

e.com/archive/?date=20001029&s lug=4050212 @ everyone, the lyrics she sings are NOT the same as the lyrics printed on the sheet music in the video. The sheet lacks the verse about the tailor, for instance.

I thought Animals recorded this song but it's difficult to know if the song is older or not. But this song didn't sound like Animals.

Animals believe its from The Animals.

It scares the hell out of me, I'm so sorry to say it (and I apologyse to her family!) :(

Clarence Ashley sang it four years earlier, and that version is on here, but he claimed he was taught it by his grandfather!

@StukInTexAss Yeah, except the music shows the ANIMALS melody and not the one she's singing, dumbass.
