Folks around Avalon, Miss. say John Hurt wrote his version of this old tune while sitting under a big magnolia tree in the front yard of his house. Played in the key of C, it is one of John's simpler tunes and is especially popular with children of all ages. John's song may actually come from two different sources, including a 1920s version by old-time guitarist Riley Puckett.
