Warfield (named for founder John Warfield) and Naugatuck are two towns on opposite sides of the Tug fork of the Big Sandy River, one in Kentucky and the other in West Virginia.

WARFIELD [1]. AKA and see "Forks of Sandy (1)/Forks of the Sandy," "Three Forks of Reedy." American, Reel (cut time). USA; West Virginia, Kentucky. G Major. Warfield (named for founder John Warfield) and Naugatuck are two towns on opposite sides of the Tug fork of the Big Sandy River, one in Kentucky and the other in West Virginia. As the lyric below indicates, Naugatuck passed a 'dry law' leaving citizens who wished a drink no recourse but to cross the river to the neighboring state where spirits remained lega. John Scotland Hannah sings:
C’mon boys, let’s go to Warfield,
C’mon boys, let’s go to Warfield;
C’mon boys, let’s go to Warfield,
Naugytuck’s done gone dry, dry, Naugytuck’s done gone dry.
The Logan County, West Virginia, group Williamson Brothers & Curry (Arnold Williamson, fiddle; Ervin (sometimes given as Irvin or 'Irving') Williamson, guitar ; Arnold Curry, ukulele banjo) recorded the tune in St. Louis in 1927 for the OKeh label, and sang similar lyrics (see also the Henry Truvillon AFS recording). Arnold Williamson was aged 23 at the time, and the group leaned on the more experienced presence of Frank Hutchinson (also from Logan County), who accompanied them to the recording session and who appears on some other selections the band recorded that day. While they did not record again, the Williamsons remained active music makers in their region for decades. A version of the tune also was played by Kentucky fiddler Perry Riley, a cousin of the more famous and influential fiddler Buddy Thomas, from the northeastern part of the state.
