The tune was in the repertoire of North Carolina African-American banjo and guitar players Etta Baker and her sister-in-law, Lacey Phillips, played fingerstyle and popularized through Phillip's 1956 recording. It is known as a banjo piece today, although it did was not always so. Etta Baker learned the tune from her brother-in-law, who himself had obtained it from his father.
