“Turkey in the Straw” is a folk tune that been around in the United States for almost 200 years. With lyrics clearly intended to parody the speech of African-Americans in the rural South, it became a staple of minstrel shows and blackface acts into the twentieth century
Alabama, and Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, And Connecticut and more… The 50 states of the first thing I think of when I hear this tune, but I absolutely love it. It brings back so many memories.
Lot of weight on the shoulders of the guitarist here. This may be a fiddle tune through and through, and you can find your way around a misplaced note, but god help you if you start strumming that guitar on the wrong beat.
"Turkey in the Straw'" tune originated from British and Irish folk songs and had no racial connotations. But various American song renditions when first performed in 1800s contained highly offensive & racist lyrics.

Billy, the kid, always requested this song at town dances.😊
Yeah, I've studied him quite a bit in the past and I recall it being his favorite song.
And he generally got it.
Perfect time, not too fast nor too slow. Very crisp.
Very, very good timing. A pace to dance to
Absolutely wonderful! Thank you!
Heard Jarod Barkley reference this song and had to look it up.
These 2 did amazing 💯💖
This was supposedly Billy the Kid's favorite song

Great but the guitar is playing one incorrect chord. If you play the music slowly you will see.
A pessoa já nasceu cm habilidade...
Quem sabe faz o violino obedecer e som encanta quem houve...💖😘🌷🎼🇧🇷
I know that's "Turkey in the Straw" for the melody...
How many taps until you pet gets angry
WOW ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Maybe it sounds different to American ears, but as an Englishman, I'd rethink the channel name. Certainly wouldn't send my children.
Enjoyed
