Estill Bingham (1899 - 1990) learned this from his father, Noah, in southeastern Kentucky. I had learned another one of his songs for last week's Tune of the Week and it was recommended I also listen to this nice crooked tune.

Hi Janet. I love the title and the melodi. Do you have words for the song ?

Hi Torben. I've just learned this old fiddle tune, so I didn't even know there were words. From the Fiddlers Companion site, here are some lyrics:
Old Aunt Katie, good enough for anybody,
Old Aunt Katie, good enough at all;
Old Aunt Katie, good enough for anybody,
Take 'er in her old clothes, or don't take her at all.
And:
Cluck old hen, cluck right along;
Cluck old hen, till your chickens rolls on;
Cluck old hen, and I don't give a damn‑‑
I can git a woman if you can git a man. (Bayard)

Thanks...Even the words in old songs sometimes are a little "cracy", I like theme.
