Mary Phagan was a teenag factory worker from Marietta, Georgia, who was found brutally murdered in 1913. Leo Frank, the factory manager, was later found guilty of the crime and sentenced to life in prison. Shortly after the trial, however, rioters broke into the prison and lynched him. Fiddlin' John Carson wrote "Little Mary Phagan" in 1914. The song was first printed in 1918, and first recorded by Carson's daughter, Moonshine Kate, in 1925.

My instrument is an 1888 Thompson & Odell "The Luscomb" banjo tuned eAEG♯B (relative gCGBD).
