Carl Sandburg

Hell On The Wabash

When country fiddlers held a convention in Danville, the big money went to a barn dance artist who played Turkey in the Straw, with variations. They asked him the name of the piece calling it a humdinger and he answered, "I call it 'Hell on the Wabash.'" The two next best were The Speckled Hen, and Sweet Potatoes Grow in Sandy Land, with variations.
