The All Go Hungry Hash House

This one`s been done by Charlie Poole, Uncle Dave Macon, The New Lost City Ramblers and others. I first heard it done by Ernest Van "Pop" Stoneman back in the early `60s when the "Blue Grass Champs", which consisted of Pop and four of his and his wife Hattie`s twenty three(!) children, Jimmy, Van, Roni and Donna did a summer long weekend appearance at the "Four Corners Cabaret" in Jacksonville Maryland.

Nice job, Wishuey! And no doubt, yours is the AUTHENTIC lyric. But I far prefer the lyric of The New Lost City Ramblers. I have laboriously transcribed it from my vinyl for all you YouTubites out there: email me should you want me to send you the Tom Paley version. Please put "Hungry Hash House" in your subject box.

Thanks. I`m using (pretty much) Charlie Poole`s version. I`m pretty sure that`s where Mike, John and Tracey got it, then monkeyed around with it a bit.

I`ve got the NLCR lyrics but thanks just the same.

6 stars! 5 for the song/performance plus one more for the book sitting on the shelf just in front of your right shoulder!

[Wishuey]

Thanks and congratulations on being the first to notice it. I could only read a little of it at a time before "outrage overload" kicked in; took me a couple of weeks, and it`s a short book....

i recognize the tune...theres some charley poole song that uses it.

[Wishuey]

Right you are; that`s where I got it.

Uncle Dave did it in '25, though.

I think the first recording of this was by Pop Stoneman on Edison Diamond Disc With the Dixie Mountaiers about 1928.

Same here. Gotta hope there's a light at the end of the tunnel (hopefully not an oncoming train).
