I learned this song from the 1956 album by the same title. I've added Banjo and changed the melody ever so slightly to it to give it a little more of an Appalachian style.

Outstanding track......I’m afraid I don’t know if it’s an old time folk tune, or a more modern interpretation. Has a sea shanty vibe about, love it though. Do you know the story please? stukabobs
