Byron Harlan (1861-1936) recorded the most famous recording of the song, also in 1907. Note - I apologize for the quietness. I did all I could to make it louder.

    My mother used to sing this song, when I was a pre-schooler. I remember it well. Now, I am 75!

    Odd that someone would still remember this song 45 years after it was released.

    Thank you for uploading this. I remember my grandma waking me up for school singing this song almost 20 years ago! Brought a smile to my face as I started singing/playing it for my 7yr old!

    It's surreal to hear a song made about the past that was made far in the past

    My mother was born in 1914, started going to a rural one-room school at age 6, by age 16 was teaching in another one, and despite her family's poverty, she, her older brother and sister worked their way through college. So she knew this song very well, and so did i before going to school.

    Taught by the tune of a hickory stick! A tune well remembered from a once kid who had a parent and/or grandparent sing it to him & his sister atleast once or twice a week thru early grade school. Bet you don't even mention a hickory stick to a child during the past 25 years or they'd find the nearest social worker to cry child abuse. People, do you really think civilization is going forward without corporal punishment and other ways of teaching a child responsibility? Not paddling the butt when needed to teach responsibility and right from wrong, and letting the children fill their minds with garbage on TV, giving in to a child's wants, not requiring a child to do some degree of household chores when age appropriate, plus parents that don't give a hoot; how are those practices going to do anything but let Western Culture do anything but decay? Thank you for the upload, I'd forgotten this tune I used to hear sing everyday.

    Anytime, I'm glad I could help bring back the memories. I agree, some parents these days are way too loose. I by all means do not support paddling, but I don't like seeing 4th graders with iPhones.

    Actually, "Taught to the tune of a hickory stick" probably refers to the stick keeping time while the lesson is recited by the class. Not that the stick wouldn't also be used for discipline, but I don't think that's the reference here.

    Yes. Society will move along just fine without abuse of children. or "discipline" which is no more than an ego trip for the one doing it and shows the lack of understanding of children by the teacher. ,

    Just curious, what type of phonograph did you use to play the record. Also I am not familiar with this version of this Harlan recording, What record did he record this on. I am sure he did it several time for several different companies. I have the U.S. Everlasting Version up on my channel. Thanks for posting.

    here to report on two different performances. First, I sung it at an unaccompanied "pub sing" of about fifteen mostly 25-35 year olds, and only two people joined in. Those two were over 50. (I'm 63) Seems like the millennial don't know it! Last Saturday I performed it at the Sounding Board Coffeehouse in West Hartford, CT, to a house of about 100 predominantly over 55ers. They heartily joined in on the chorus, and it was a great success! This leaves me somewhat perplexed. If the song is from 1907, why would it still be around for people who grew up in the 1950s, but not be around for their children? Does anybody know if it was ever a hit in the mid 1900s, or perhaps it was a radio show theme song ...... or whatever. People my age (63) learned it from their parents, but where did THEY learn it? 1907 was a long time ago!

    I was a music teacher and I think folk music is important and a foundation to our country. As a millennial (who's in denial as a xennial) I knew this song from my grandpa singing it to me as a child. I also probably heard it in my school music program along with a number of old folk songs. Which influences me to keep those songs alive for future generations.
