There is a related and similar tune also from West Virginia called The Route. However this version I got from the Hamblen Collection, a collection of scores for tunes from the West Virginia / Kentucky region. The full title on the page is "Jolly Blacksmith (she wouldn't come at all)". Now I'm not sure who 'she' is but it makes for an interesting story. I shift to a more major key in the second part, and for a while I was getting it confused with Hannah at the Springhouse. While they ARE similar I'm pretty sure I'm playing it at least in the spirit of the tune Jolly Blacksmith as written. If I AM playing Hannah at the Springhouse then oops I'll do it over another time.
