Okay, I looked up Boxcar Willie. You've got me hooked, now.:D

A classic performance, where the melody line is actually followed, rather than indicated. Those were the days (my friend, we thought they'd never end...)

A nice amateur version on the banjo... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gE3kj71VMa0 (the vocals aren't much at the beginning)

And the Mac Wiseman version, on Tex Ritter's show.

And for a change of pace, Grandpa Jones sings "Night Train to Memphis".
