American reel originating in the North Carolina area that Doc Watson said he first learned from his father. Typically only an instrumental but can have these lyrics -
Got Uncle Joe, got Uncle Willie,
Went out hunting for the wild willy-nilly.
Didn't get one; got ten or twenty,
Take 'em into town and make lots'a money.
Muddy roads, muddy roads! ... (Johnson)
OR
The way is dark and the road is muddy
Girls so drunk they can't stand steady.
Beans in the pot and the hoecake a-bakin',
Pickin' the banjo and the strings all a-breakin' - Licensing
