USA; Braxton County, W.Va.  G Major: A Major.  DGdg or AEae tuning (fiddle). Not the original title for the tune. Learned by Ernie Carpenter from his father, fiddler Shelton "Shelt" Carpenter (1862-1937), of Sutton, Braxton County, West Virginia, an outdoorsman, fishing guide, fiddler, and mountain philospher of note. He was a popular guide for the professional class of doctors and lawyers from Charleston, who brought him to their fishing camps where tutored them in fishing on the Elk River and showed them the best fishing spots.  He also entertained with tall tales and played music, and shared their whiskey. He had a good sense of humor, if self-deprecating:
<blockquote>
''It’s just my luck that if it was raining soup, I’d have a fork instead of a spoon.''<br>
<br>
''In the old days we did everything by hand-power and awkwardness.''<br>
<br>
''They say that money talks, but all it ever said to me was goodbye.''<br>
<br>
''I’ve been as lucky as a one-legged man at an ass-kicking.''<br>
</blockquote>
