Biography:
Jesse Shelor (born December, 1894) was the youngest boy of the fourteen children of Reverend William Ellis Shelor. Even though all of Jesse's brothers played fiddle or banjo, it was not their influence, but rather a more startling event that started ten year old Jesse fiddling. Dad BlackardOne day Jesse's father came home, picked up a fiddle, and played "Callahan". This impressed young Jesse greatly since he had no idea his father played! Community pressure against a Baptist minister playing the "Devil's Box" was strong.

She totes herself like a flying squirrel and the men folk all come around.

C G C F C G C
The calf comes a-loping when the old cow calls and the possum dog comes to the horn.

And the grape vine climbs up the tall oak tree and the morning glory wraps around the corn.

And a feller will turn around and come pretty quick when he hears that pretty girl laugh;

She's gone crowd the hands where the crabgrass grows and killed the weeds as she goes;
C G C F C G C
She skippers up the furrow in a cloud of dust and she busts them clods with a hoe.
