The Trail of the Lonesome Pine

The first one's never going to leave me.



Wikipedia says something kooky:
"The Trail of the Lonesome Pine" has been recorded numerous times, probably most notably by Laurel and Hardy, and was featured in their 1937 film Way Out West. This version was also released as a single in 1975 in the UK, where it reached number 2 in the charts. The song was also recorded by Vivian Stanshall, the English frontman of the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band.

The title alone sounds like something the Handsome Family would sing.
Rather than watch your video, I'm going to listen to the imaginary Handsome Family version in my mind.
