Just a piece of foolishness. Clawhammer and thumb-lead.

Elizabeth Cotten learned this tune in 1910 from a man aged about 50. She added the words.

A version closer to Roscoe Holcomb's setting, in G tuning rather than D.

AKA Red Rocking Chair, AKA Red Apple Juice. Sawmill tuning (gDGCD), played in D. Banjo is down two frets. Learned this from Dock Boggs. Also done by Roscoe Holcomb and one version from Charlie Monroe, which features a guitar and mandolin playing the melody in unison.

Sawmill tuning, two-finger thumb lead. From the singing of Aunt Molly Jackson.

Dock Boggs version. Banjo is tuned gDGBD, maybe a little low. One of my favorites.

I think Jack Elliott is my source for this. Also recorded by Burnett & Rutherford, who are Doc Watson's source. Regular G tuning, down to F#. Thumb lead. This song also works very well in the tuning gDGAD.
