Found it through looking for Quicksilver's Happy Trails and got into bluegrass territory. Ages since I've heard the song though. First heard it by The Carter Family, pioneers of the music.

Maybelle Carter was June Carter's mum. June who was another country artist married Johnny Cash who was well known for his country songs.
