AABB (Titon): AAAABB' (Phillips). Versions have been collected from African-American fiddler John Lusk of Kentucky, and a similar version from fiddler Isham Monday (1879-1964) of Cloyd's Ridge, Rural Route 5, Tomkinsville, the county seat of Monroe County, south-central Kentucky, near the border with Tennessee (the county was named for President James Monroe, while Tompkinsville is named for his Vice President).
