Charlie was born in Spray, now part of Eden, Rockingham County, in the northern Piedmont region of North Carolina, near the Virginia border.
He learned banjo as a youth. Poole also played baseball, and his three-fingered playing technique was the result of a baseball accident.

Charlie Poole - Can I Sleep In Your Barn Tonight Mister?
A wonderful song, recorded in 1925. Charlie actually played it on banjo, but it
sounds great on guitar also.
Pretty simple, follows the same pattern throughout the whole song.
A
May I sleep in your barn tonight mister?
E
It's cold lying out on the ground,
A D
And the cold north wind is whistling,
E A
And I have no place to lie down.
