1. The song? It’s pre-civil war and no one knows. It’s listed in a very early music anthology book of American Folk songs.

2. Nobody knows

3. What are you asking, where did you go? Where did you come from?

4. He went to Tennessee with the girl.. not sure where he came from

5. You’d think Johnny Cash would have the answer, since he’s been everywhere.
