JOSIE-O. AKA - "Josie GIrl." Old-Time, Breakdown. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCC. A tune from the repertoire of Art Stamper (as "Josie-O"), and Charlie Acuff (who learned it from his grandfather, Charlie Boyd Acuff, as "Josie Girl"). A 'josie' is a type of cape with an attached outer cover. The ditty sung to the tune (in the second half of the first strain, and the first half of the second strain) go:
Where’s that girl, where’s she gone,
Where’s the girl with the josie on?
Stole my heart, away she’s gone,
Where’s the girl with the josie on?
"Barlow Knife (1)" is a related melody.
