AB (Silberberg): AABB (Brody). North Georgia fiddler Lowe Stokes recorded the tune in 1929 with guitarist Mike Whitten. Columbia 15486 (78 RPM), Lowe Stokes and His North Georgians (late 1920’s). County 705, Sonny Miller‑ "Virginia Breakdown" (appears as "Katy Did.” Miller learned the tune from the Lowe Stokes record which had “Take Me Back to Georgia” backed with “Katy Did,” only the record in Miller’s possession had the labels reversed, thus he actually learned “Take Me Back” under the other title).
