LYRICS:
There was a little feller, his name was Johnny Grey
The state where Johnny Grey was born was Penn-syl-van-i-a
Chorus
Blow you in the morning, blow you winds, hi ho
Blow you in the morning, blow, blow, blow
This Johnny fell in love, all with a nice young girl
The name of her most positive was Louzy Isry Anner Pearl
When Johnny asked her father, her father he said no
And brutally sent her beyond the O-hi-o
Johnny went out a-west a-trading in furs and other things
And soon he found himself in trust with the chief of the Indians
When Miss Louisa heard of this, she straightway went to bed
And never did get up from there until she died
Uncle Dave Macon vocal and banjo, unidentified fiddler, recorded 26 January 1938 in Charlotte, NC, and issued as Bluebird B8379 in May 1940.
