Also know as "Louis Collins'.

Good old song - possibly by Mississippi John Hurt.

Done here on an Uncle John four string tuned DGBE and Iowa saxophone.

Played in the key of D- 3 chords, D, G and A7. D harp.

Those are kind, generous words, Richard.  I appreciate the comment.   No intentional modernization on my part.  MJH was a great Piedmont style player.    He got the melody in there most of the time with his play and they called him 'Rubber Thumb.'    I did my best interpretation of what he did in a key to suit me and using harp to flavor things the way MJH's guitar did.   I enjoyed doing this one.

A 1:50 minutes of bless! A great fit, agree with A.D. and AGP! Another note A.D. brought up, you have a talent of modernizing the classics, great sound and mix quality, yet presentation is traditional. Vintage Uncle John, and that’s a damn good thing!

Nicely played Unc John.  I'm sure Mr Hurt would be proud!
