'''JIMMY IN THE SWAMP'''. Old-Time, Breakdown. USA; eastern Kentucky, Nebraska. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. West Virginia fiddler Wilson Douglas stated that regionally (i.e. eastern Kentucky/West Virginia/southern Ohio) influential fiddler Ed Haley played this tune. John Hartford notes that R.P. Christeson's source, Uncle Bob Walters' family moved to Iowa from Kentucky in the mid-1800's and that both Walters' father and grandfather were fiddled. His implication is that this musical family brought the tune to the mid-west from eastern Kentucky.
