The BEST fiddlin' I've ever seen of this song by Eddie Stubbs (of the Johnson Mountain Boys and voice of the Grand Ole Opry; weekly evening radio show on WSM 650AM)

Hank Williams and the Drifting Cowboys doing a really fast version of it from their radio show; feels like you're really riding a train "Hang on children!"

A violin student playing at "The Gallery" in Philadelphia, PA. No "double stops" but pretty amazing.
Classically trained violinist and he's done something I've heard no one do before; he plays the lyrics part of the song on the violin (i.e. the"Look a-yonder comin'" part)
Seatrain's version with Richard Greene's fiddlin'; rocked out! My second favorite rendition.

Chubby Wise, with Roy Clark, doing it as it was written (Roy gives Chubby credit for co-writing it but we know that is not true). But Chubby made the song famous, as Gene Christian says. Without Chubby, it probably would have never become that popular.

Rouse Brothers (Ervin and Gordon) doing it in 1939; very basic and they own it!

The worst version I've ever seen; he doesn't even get the words right.
