AB (Silberberg): AABB (Johnson, Phillips, Songer). Recorded by fiddler Ted Sharp and his band, whom Richard Nevins (1972) suggests came from central-eastern Arkansas. It had previously been recorded by Clark Kessinger under the title “Rat Cheese Under the Hill” (obviously a corruption of the tune name “Natchez Under the Hill”).
