Bill and the Boys put the scald on this one. You play it as you like, and practice even slower. The Intro and A part is a Monroe transcription. The B part is an approximation of how the fiddles played it. Use your open strings on the B part. The open G and D will sound nice over the descending G chords. The open G and open E will sound good over the C chords.
