Grandpa from the Real McCoys

I probably heard that song as back then Ma played a radio station every day that would carry such music, as would alot of radio stations,  but it does not ring a bell.

That style of performance is similar to the talking blues….although way less bluesy. Arlo Guthrie’s Alice’s Restaurant is inthe same vein. Johnny Cash did a number of talkers very successfully (a Boy named Sue,,for ex,)
Walter Brennan……ever been bit by a dead bee.

Ole Walter Brennan in his "Real  McCoys" outfit.

Another song he did was "That Mule Old Rivers, And Me"
