Frankie Baker (Jarrell & Cockerham version)

Banjo Hangout Newest 100 Songs

The current Tune of the Week is full of links and versions and history regarding the old song also known as Frankie and Johnnie. I've arranged one from listening to Tommy Jarrell and Fred Cockerham -- one of the many links available to hear in the discussion thread. In playing along with the recording, my cello banjo was surprisingly already tuned to play along.
