American Folk Song.This American folk song probably had its roots at the end of the Civil War and during reconstruction. It is said that it may have been first sung by the workers building levees on the Mississippi river (in the south) to prevent flooding. This arrangement, like the song, is lively and, like many folk songs, full of funny, offbeat lyrics. There are a lot of opportunities for solos, rhythmic speech and even movement.
