single, 1950
traditional
I know this song from Blind Willie McTell's version. Apparently someone named Zeke Morris claimed he wrote it; it had been recorded before the Morris Brothers, but perhaps he wrote the specific lyrics that Flatt & Scruggs sing here. "Standing on the corner with the lowdown blues / A great big hole in the bottom of my shoes." The hillbilly lyric and rapid-fire fingerpicking make this a catchy, light romp worth revisiting.
