This traditional Appalachian folk song has its roots as a song of lament about lost love, but over time, the lyrics have become light and flirtatious. The humorous quality rings throughout with a bouncy piano accompaniment andplayful vocals. The arrangers have created a perfect teaching piece that is entertaining to learn and perform with the opportunity of stomps and hand claps leading to even more performance ideas for staging and movement.
