I first heard this old minstrel song, which dates back to 1846, in the 1976 movie The Outlaw Josey Wales, which still remains a favorite. I'm playing a minstrel banjo and attempting to sing in a minstrel style. Fooled 'em again, Josey.

This is a great song with a nice tune and a fine set of lyrics. Another song well done, Dean, and another five stars for you.
