Wallins Creek Girls

Our names are Sals and Bonny, two rounder boys you know
We come around to Wallins Creek not many days ago
One she was blonde-headed, she’s fair-skinned and blue-eyed
The only thing they wanted to do was smoke cigarettes and car ride
The other one she’s black-headed, dark-skinned and black-eyed too
We never saw her smoke cigarettes but she belonged to the cigarette crew
They get out on the highway, they flag both up and down
The first men stops and picks them up, they’d go from town to town
September the 11th on Friday they both came down the road
There’s not been girls in this wide world can flag like them and go
They ask us for a cigarette, we have them both to roll
We give old Prince Albert but they’d rather have Old Gold
Although these girls is pretty as the flowers that bloom in May
But if they could get them one cigarette they’d car-ride every day
Adapted from the singing (and presumed composition) of Dawson "Little Daw" Henson. Recorded by Alan and Elizabeth Lomax on October 11, 1937 at Botto on Billy's Branch, Clay County, Kentucky.

Bonnie "Prince" Billy & Nathan Salsburg Louisville, Kentucky
“Our names are Sals and Bonnie, two rounder boys you know”
Salsburg picks his guitar for fun and
money, and works under his own auspices as well as those of Joan Shelley and Alan Lomax. Bonny, too, is employed by both his own damn self and really almost any old voiceless endeavor-presenter. Both are artist-workers with staunch undefinable standards for which they’ll fight tooth-and-paw.
