"Boots and Leggings" Performance
Added 2023-02-24 14:00:06 +0000 UTCI learned "Boots and Leggings" (Old Man From Over The Sea, Old Man from Lee) from a 1960s field recording of Aunt Molly Jackson of Clay County, Kentucky. My instrument is an original 1840s minstrel banjo by William E. Boucher Jr. of Baltimore, Maryland, tuned ~ eBEG♯B
"The old man's courtship is an ancient joke of which country folk never seemed to tire... the song appeared in the Musical Miscellany (London) in 1730. It seems to be widespread in Scotland, and Sharp found it common in the West Country. Versions have been reported from Yorkshire, Worcestershire, and Wiltshire."
-- Williams and Lloyd, Penguin Book of English Folk Songs (1959)

Jail, I did a lesson on this a long time ago, but never tabbed it. If you want, I could post an updated lesson with tab.
