This song is known by several names, including "I've Always Been a Rambler," "The Girl I Left Behind" and "Maggie Walker Blues." Betsy Rutherford, of Galax, Virginia, sings lead in this 1974 concert performance by the New Ruby Tonic Entertainers in Baltimore, Md. Carl Conn recorded the concert and preserved the tapes. Music from the concert is now being made available to the public 37 years later.
Yes! Thank you! New Lost City Ramblers version always a favorite!
