This comes from a 1942 Library of Congress recording done at Sadie Beck's Plantation in Arkansas by Alan Lomax of a left-handed guitarist named William Brown. This is the same artist that recorded "Mississippi Blues." This arrangement in the key of G is capoed high on the fingerboard to give a specific sound as well as to make your left hand fingering easier. The arrangement is like a jigsaw puzzle built around three chords and an alternating bass.
