BLACK ANNIE. Old-Time, Breakdown and Song Tune. USA; North Carolina, north Georgia. GDgd tuning. Kerry Blech (writing in the Old Time Herald) says the tune is "seldom collected from other black old time musicians (beside Joe and Odel Thompson of the Piedmont region of N.C.), but is found in the repertoires of white musicians." Joe Thompson uses it as one of his tunes of choice for calling in a frolic. Charles Wolfe (1979) suggests that the Georgia Yellow Hammer's piece by this name was probably an old minstrel song.

Recorded source: Global Village C217, Joe and Odel Thompson - "Old Time Tunes From the Morth Carolina Piedmont."
