Signature tune of Elizabeth Cotton. Read her incedible story on the web: 

A wonderful motivation for all of us - had her first gig in public in the age of 68. 

Man, there is still hope for me.

Tab Notes

A fine four-liner, even though initially with lyrics and mid-tempo, this is made for picking posers. Really fun to play a little faster than the original. The ending, leading back to the verse, is perfect for testing some walking bass phrases. I wrote down some options - there are plenty more.
