"Boys My Money's all Gone" is an American reel in cut time and A Dorian or Mixolydian/Dorian. <br> The parts are played AABB.<br> Old-time versions of "Money in Both Pockets" are sourced to a February, 1929, recording by East Tennessee fiddler<br> Charlie Bowman (1889-1962) and his Brothers, called "Moonshiner and His Money", which was Columbia Records first<br> entree into recording early country music. "Moonshiner and His Money" was a skit with music, along the lines of<br> the Skillet Licker's successful similar recordings. There were two tunes played in between the banter,<br> "Money in Both Pockets"<br> and "Boys My Money's All Gone".<br> The banjo tablature is by John Letscher. His notes:<br> First heard from The New Lost City Ramblers then reinforced by Erynn Marshall and Claire and Walt.<br> It was printed in Kaufman's Beginning Old Time Fiddle (1977),<br> Milliner and Koken's Milliner-Koken Collection of American Fiddle Tunes (2011),<br> Phillips' Traditional American Fiddle Tunes, vol. 1 (1994) and<br> Reiner's Anthology of Fiddle Styles (1979).<br> It was recorded by Charlie Bowman and His Brothers (78 RPM) (1929),<br> Old Time Fiddle Classics (1965) and<br> Rural String Bands of Tennessee (1997),<br> The New Lost City Ramblers on Songs from the Depression (1959) and<br> Erynn Marshall on Tune Tramp (2012).<br>
