'''HAWK'S GOT/CAUGHT A CHICKEN (AND FLEW IN THE WOODS)'''. Old-Time, Breakdown. USA; Kentucky, Texas, Missouri. G Major (the 'A' part starts on an E Minor chord). Standard tuning (fiddle). ABACC. A tune indigenous to east-central Kentucky, according to Charles Wolfe (1982). It was recorded in 1930 by Kentucky fiddler Doc Roberts, and though he recorded many sides, he was supposed by Wolfe to have paid little attention to music outside his home region. Roberts' son James remembered playing the tune with his father in the mid-1920's, thus dating it early in Roberts' repertoire. Musically, Wolfe thinks the end phrases resemble the Kessinger Brothers' "[[Little Betty Brown]]." Meade (2002) also lists a versions as "[[Did You Ever See the Devil Uncle Joe?]]/John?" Texas fiddler Eck Robertson, who recorded in the 1920's, seems also to have known a tune by this name, as did north Virginia fiddler John Ashby (1915-1979). Words are sometimes sung to one of the parts, along the lines of the following: | '''HAWK'S GOT/CAUGHT A CHICKEN (AND FLEW IN THE WOODS)'''. Old-Time, Breakdown. USA; Kentucky, Texas, Missouri.
