From the Harry and Jean West 1950's recording. I went with an old-time style of 3-finger picking and zeroed in on his vocals for a melody. The song also goes by Louisville Burglar.

A welcome addition to TOTW to get a tune from afar presented with lots of old history that also lends itself to learning a reel and a jig.
