POSSUM ON THE/A RAIL. AKA and see "Raccoon on a Rail." Old-Time, Breakdown/Reel. USA, Mississippi. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABB. The tune is attributed to fiddler Lonnie Ellis, who shared fiddling duties in the Mississippi Possum Hunters with fellow fiddler John Holloway (although the two did not play fiddle together on record, but one would switch to a different instrument while the other fiddled. On their 1930 recording Ellis played fiddle, Pete Herring played guitar and John M. Holloway played cello). The tune is similar in the second strain to "Bile Them Cabbage Down," and has similar chord progression (I, IV, I, V, I). A year later the tune was recorded as "Raccoon on a Rail" by the north Georgia-based Hometown Boys (Bill Helms, fid., Gid Tanner, banjo, and Riley Puckett, gtr.).
