'''CAROLINA RATTLESNAKE'''. Old-Time, Fiddle Tune. USA, Arkansas. The tune was recorded for the Library of Congress by musicologist/folklorist Vance Randolph from Ozark Mountain fiddlers in the early 1940's. "Carolina Rattlesnake" was recorded by Ozarks (Arkansas) fiddler Lon Jordon for the Library of Congress. The rattlesnake was featured on a South Carolina flag of the American Revolution, the famous "Don't Treat on Me" or Gadsden flag. The name Carolina is actually a Latinized reworking (formed from an adjective with a completely acceptable feminization to agree with terra) of the name Charles, and was the name designated by Charles I of England for this colony (Matthews, 1972).
