I learned this traditonnal song from Pete Seeger. I added some tin whistle over my banjo, doubling the melody...

  • I think you have the only version of this tune on youtube that isn't a cover of that awful watered down Alison Kraus version. Great job here.

  • @jccoldtime23 Thanks, i agree with you about Alison Kraus version, i hate it too and didn't include it in my post on "The Lazy Farmer boy" variations.I play also the version included in the Antholgy. The one i play here i learned from Pete Seeger.

  • Beautiful!

    I usually sing this ballad unaccompanied, after the version on the Harry Smith collection.

    I love what you did with the banjo and whistle.

  • Thanks, i also love the version on the Anthology (by the way, i have a blog dedicated to the Harry Smith Anthology, it's called "The Old, Weird America")....

  • what tuning are you in here?

  • Regular G tuning (gDGBD) The song alternates between G major and E minor so it's relatively easy to play.
