"Little Maggie" by Pelican Rex


The German folk/outlaw country band Pelican Rex's version of "Little Maggie" may sound exactly like the original.

Nobody can be sure, as the initial rendering was never recorded.  

It's believed that the song was conceived in Southern Appalachia during the late 1800's.

Secondhandsongs.com gives credit to Grayson and Whitter for the first recording, in December of 1929.

For a remake that was recorded on a whim and without rehearsal, does it sound halfway decent?

You're darn tootin'.
