Jean Ritchie - Jinny Git Around (Roud 9175)
This recording was made by Alan Lomax in 1949. Most of the Lomax recordings are poor quality and absent from YouTube. I plan to remove as much background noise as possible and upload as many as I can. Here is a playlist with my other Jean Ritchie uploads: • Jean Ritchie - Geordie (Child 209, Roud 90)
Here is a link to my main channel, which mostly consists of informative and historical videos about traditional music and features many rare recordings: / @thefolkrevivalproject
Here is another traditional performance of this song, also recorded by Alan Lomax:
• J.M. Mullins: Jenny Get Around (1937)
This video will not be monitized. All credit goes to Jean Ritchie, Alan Lomax and whomever currently holds to rights to this music. I uploaded this video because the music needs to be heard.
The days is long and lonesome
The nights is a-gettin' cold
I'm gonna see my true love
Before I get too old
Oh git around, Jinny git around
Oh git around, I say
Oh git around, Jinny git around
Long summer day
Met a possum in the road
Mad as he could be
------------------------- dog(?)
Bristled up at me
Oh git around, Jinny git around
Oh git around, I say
Oh git around, Jinny git around
Long summer day
