Lulu Belle and Scotty - Mountain Dew [1939].

Описание: [1928 Version Written by Bascom Lamar Lunsford.
1939 Version Written by Scott Wiseman]
Lunsford was not only a folklorist but also a lawyer, who defended clients in criminal cases involving moonshining during the 1920s in North Carolina. He wrote a ballad based on this experience and recorded it in 1928. In 1935, his friend Scotty Wiseman added the modern chorus and replaced verses about a man appearing in court with verses about making moonshine. Two years later Lunsford sold the song to Wiseman for $25 so he could buy a train ticket back to North Carolina from the National Folk Festival in Chicago. Wiseman copyrighted the song and made sure 50% of the royalties earned were given to Lunsford until his death.
