Notes: This is my first clawhammer banjo arrangement. I learned of the song from the 2000 Coen Brothers movie "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" and have loved listening to it ever since, but have never found a decent arrangement on the banjo. I spent quite a bit of time arranging this from just the melody (which I included as the top staff, for reference). I used MuseScore to compose the piece and you should be able to go to MuseScore.org to listen to the playback. Many thanks to "Haywire Mac" McClintock for the original composition.
