Doc Watson - 1991 - Don't Let Your Deal Go Down

Doc Watson - 1991 - Don't Let Your Deal Go Down. Kirk Sutphin on fiddle and Mike Seeger on banjo.

You may have heard the Flatt & Scruggs bluegrass version of this song.

Doc is singing and playing it here like Charlie Poole did it... he called it the "Don't let your deal go down blues" and recorded it July 27, 1925.

This was the first record Doc ever heard - Charlie Poole singing "don't let your deal go down". I'm glad it wasn't some lame pop thing by Rudy Valley - it might have changed the history of American music. Doc is one reason I'm proud to be an American.

"who's gonna shoe your pretty little foot?" etc...

these lyrics are everywhere! ever need a verse for an old-time song, just sing the words of "i truly understand you love another man"

I love this old song. Doc is great. His guitar playing really inspires me to try and take up playing one again myself. What a good sound. He and Kirk and Mike are terrific. I have heard Flatt and Scruggs version and love them, too. Thanks so much for posting this UncleSkidder. - Paula
