PIECE [1]. American, Country Rag (2/4 or cut time). C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Although Missouri Valley fiddler Bob Walters (1889-1960, Burt County, eastern Nebraska) recorded this as an untitled piece, it is in fact a version of the popular 1896 'coon song' "I Don't Love Nobody" by Lew Sully. R.P. Christeson explains:

The melody in the chorus has become the common part in a cluster of two-part fiddle tunes whose differences are largely in the added part. "Crafton Blues," a Texas-based tune is one; "Rock and Rye Rag" is another; "Walking Up Town" in Mom Routh's book is still another. A commercial 78-RPM recording [Ed. Doc Roberts, 1933] of "I Don't Love Nobody (1)" [Melotone #12746] follows this pattern and has a second part which I consider inferior to the first part. Various fiddlers, including Bob Walters, would play at the Melotone version when "I Don't Love Nobody" was requested.
