This song is one of the oldest American ballads still in the folk tradition. It was originally know as "Springfield Mountain" and is thought to deal with the death of one Timothy Myrick of Willbraham, MA, who expired of a snakebite in Connecticut in 1761. |

This song is a traditional play party song that was heard at parties and gatherings and used primarily for the entertainment of young adults. The lyrics are written in a free floating verse style which characterized this type of song by "floating" unspecific verses rather than telling a story from beginning to end. |

In Ozark folk music there is nothing like a good ole ballad about a false hearted lover! It doesn't matter which gender either. An evil false hearted man or woman will do. In this song, a sailor-man cruises by the house carpenter's abode, makes a play on the carpenter's wife, and they run away together! What ensues subsequent to that is wrought with sadness, despair and finally death. |

There is little doubt that the Wright Brother's airplane flight in 1903 was an awe inspiring event. Certainly the incident at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina stirred imaginations. Surprisingly, though, relatively few songs appeared dealing with the topic of air travel. Ren Sheilds and Honey Boy Evans wrote this song in 1904. |
