Creek's All Muddy and the Pond's All Dry (The)

 CREEK'S ALL MUDDY AND THE POND'S ALL DRY. Old-Time, Breakdown. USA, West Virginia. The name of a fiddle tune in the repertoire of Pocahontas County, West Virginia, fiddler Burl Hammons. The title comes from a line in the third verse of a folk song called "Bird Song," which McNeil claims is derived from the Child ballad (No. 26) "The Three Ravens," first published in 1611. The verse goes: Well, said the shitepoke to the crow, Now, don't you wish that it would snow; The creek's all muddy and the pond's all dry, If it wasn't for the tadpoles, we'd all die. Recorded source: AHR-017, "The Fiddling of Burl Hammons."
