TEN CENT COTTON. AKA and see "East Tennessee Blues." American, Country Rag (cut time). C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "Ten Cent Cotton" is a rather inferior setting of "East Tennessee Blues", from the usually reliable Texas fiddler Eck Robertson (1887-1975). The last four measures of the stains (repeated in both parts) are awkward compared with the smooth delivery of The Hill Billies 1926 recording of "East Tennessee Blues."
