"Molly and Tenbrook" by the Stanley Bros.

Song: Molly and Tenbrook
Artist: The Stanley Brothers
Also try: The Carter Family, Doc Watson, The Louvin Brothers, Dock Boggs
Commentary: The grand old time these bros are having? It's contagious. You do worry about poor Molly though. Thankfully, Wikipedia assures us that Mollie McCarty, in fact, lived for years after losing to Ten Broeck.
Choice lyrical sample: "The women all a-laughin', the child'n all a-cryin' / The men all a-hollerin', 'ol' Tenbrooks a-flyin''"

Version:
