re: Old Timey -- a thread for pre-rock country, folk, and blues

A couple of Calypso standards:
King Radio - "Mathilda" (1938)
King Radio - "Man Smart Woman Smarter" (1936) -- Some may know this song as a concert staple of the Grateful Dead. I first heard it in a cover by Robert Palmer. Roseanne Cash did a country version around the same time, but I don't think it works sung by a woman.
"Man Smart Woman Smarter" had been popularized in the US by Harry Belafonte in the early '50s. This version was covered a few years later by... Desi Arnaz in one of the last I Love Lucy episodes.
