Mississippi John Hurt made "My Creole Belle" one of his most loved and requested numbers. It is a beautiful yet simple arrangement in the key of C using first position C, F and G chords. The tune was written in 1900 by J. Bodewalt Lamp and was played by marching bands. John Phillip Sousa included this in his repertoire. The original title was "Creole Belles - March & Two Step" and has three distinct sections. Folks use to do the cakewalk dance to this tune. A fun tune to play and gets folks to sing along.
