Description:

Two Mountain Songs are familiar folk songs associated with the southeastern mountain regions of the United States. Little Mohee is a love ballad and courting song that is very similar to another ballad, On Top of Old Smokey. The melody of Billy Boy, like many other songs that were popular during the early days of this nation, was imported from England and adapted to many texts. It is an example of a question-answer song which is a form that exists in the folk traditions of many cultures. The verses were usually of a humorous or light-hearted nature.
