I slowed the recording to .5 speed and found out that it was sung by a talented Boy prior to puberty, with a Brooklyn, NY voice.Also it sounded better, like real life.

@Hairbanger24 HA! It does sound pretty bad, doesn't it? It actually was played at 78 RPM, and I have to wonder how many copies sold.

[MrCoolerdave]

you got more views here on this than the actual original record sold!.. amazing.. thank you

[peregrinations95]

@Hairbanger24 ..yes much better .. thanks for the tip!

[leicafool]

well there are all sorts of versions and ,being a philly native, you cant block the tune out on january 1 during the mummers parade. it was written by an african american from philly too. however, if you can find it give a listen to the version by the canadian accordian master harry hibbs

[JOHNNYFREEDOMdaREBEL]

Are you sure this is the correct speed?

Sounds a little too fast for my ears.

There were "78" records that had 80rpm

(rpm= running or Revolutions Per Minuet).

Later immortalized as the Golden Grahams commercial jingle.

MY DARLING CLEMENTINE, GOOD OLE SONG THE CHORUS

My mom used to come into my room and sing this song to piss me off and wake me up. Lol Now I just look back and laugh at the whole thing.
