By TheHeadlessFolkieOfStatenIslandHollow. (The original video wasn't cropped, and I'm not sure why it decided to cut out my head . . . .)

I thought I'd record something a bit less nautical today. This is influenced by the 1920s commercial recordings of Buell Kazee and Clarence Ashley recordings, but I extemporized a couple of lines and made the melody more languid.
