GIVE ME CHAW OF TOBACCO. AKA - "Gimmie Chaw T'baccer." AKA and see "Bear Creek's Up." Old-Time, Breakdown. USA, Mississippi. A variation of "Sally Goodin'" in G Major, recorded by the Mississippi group Carter Brothers and Son, consist of a father, uncle and son Jimmy Carter on guitar. Three couplets were sung to the mostly instrumental recording, partly indecipherable except for one:

Had a little dog and his name was Rover,
When he died, he died all over

See also the variant by another Mississippe fiddler, W.E. Claunch, entitled "Bear Creeks Up."
