Corrina Corrina was Bo Carter’s tune first. Mississippi Sheiks changed it to Sweet Alberta, but Bo Carter was in the Sheiks (sometimes) so... same? Sheiks also did Sweet Maggie version. Maybe just changes of women for Bo? Interesting because we tend to like our name songs to stay the same. Layla, Peggy Sue and My Sharona just wouldn’t work for us any other way... anyway, nice version here Uncle John.

No 'UJ', didn't think of Eric doing it, but did recall a Leadbelly Version when I first saw this one. :-)

Thanks,  AGP.  I bet you remember Clapton doing this song.

PS:  Doug.  It seems to me that this song is the black version of Corrina Corrina - or that Corrinna Corrinna is the white version of this song.  Which came first?  I don't know.

Thanks, Doug.  I love old blues. This one has been in my repertoire for quite a few years.  I listen to Pandora free internet radio and 'create' stations by artists and genres and that way hear a lot of good old songs.  My stations now are Son House and Guy Clark.  Eric Clapton did a good version of this ols song and I think that is where I first heard it.

Classic “Uncle John” style. Nice whistling! What is your source for all the old time tunes you play?
