The Dance Of Death And Other Plantation Favourites: A variant of the same song by Bukka White as recorded for the Library of Congress in the late 1930’s. JF in 1982: “It’s a very popular song because Leo Kottke recorded it. Now the way the song originated was in the following fashion. Bukka White, the blues singer, he played it in a different tuning, he played it in the open G tuning, but he didn’t play the melody. So I got hold of a recording of him singing it and changed it to a D tuning where I can play the melody on the top string.
