Genre: Old Time / Playing Style: Clawhammer and Old-Time
Also known as "Give the Fiddler a Dram,' this tune was a favorite of Gid Tanner and the Skillet Lickers and was released in 1926. Some of the floating lyrics might suggest unionist loyalties in parts of the southern Appalachians. Most fiddle players play the tune in G, but I'm playing it in F for singing purposes.

Love it ! Dean, you ever hear Doc Watson's version on the Watson Family Tradition album? I thinkit's Doc, Merle, and Gaither tearing it up. What key are you playing that tune in and what's the traditional key?
