"As far as the where the tune came from...  It is a much covered standard in Bluegrass.   A classic version is Flatt and Scruggs.  I believe there is another version on the Bonnie and Clyde movie soundtrack."

What do you find most interesting about cigar box guitars? (If you do not enter something meaningful here, your membership may be rejected).
I consider my stuff playable folk art. I look for instruments in junk. Cans, hub caps and what not. Most of my wood is barn dried from the family farm here in West TN.
