N.B. MIDI is a terrible way to learn a fiddle tune!
I had this tune from my father, Tom Paley, who had it from Narmour and Smith's 1930 recording. You can hear it on Vol 1 of County's "Mississippi String Bands" compilation.
This tune appears in these collections: Cabot Old School House, 2019 · Halsway Manor, 2019 · TradMad Camp, 2019
