This is a Minstrel song not often played, but was certainly popular and liked by Dan Emmett, as it is found in his manuscript. The song is credited to J.P. Carter, who played banjo in the Virginia Serenaders. The tune is c. 1854.
I'm writing a series of articles on the Pee Dee River region for a history column in the local paper and am so glad that I found your video of the "Ole Pee Dee". I'll be including a link to it in my article so all my readers can hear it too!
