X: 1 T: 76. FINE TIMES AT OUR HOUSE B: Sam Bayard, "Hill Country Tunes" 1944 #76 S: Played by Irvin Yaugher Jr, Mt Independence, PA, Oct 19 1943. As played by his great-uncle. N: The title of this tune has the appearance of being an importation from the British Isles; and N: no doubt the melody is too. Another set, with a variant form of the title, and a different N: second part, is in Bayard Coll., No.227, from Center County. It is case in a different mode N: from this, which disguises it greatly. N:  "Bub" Yaugher knew the following rhyme associated with this tune: N:     Possum up a gum stump, N:     Coonie in the holler, N:     Devil's on the other side -- N:     Don't you hear him holler?
