It can be amusing to note how much a song can change over the years. Here are four different variations on a traditional folk ballad.

First, here's the well-known hit from 1963.
Inez and Charlie Foxx: "Mockingbird"

Now, an earlier and very different version of the same song from 1955.

Bo Diddley: "Bo Diddley"

Then, still earlier and again quite different, from 1952.

Red Saunders and his Orchestra with Dolores Hawkins and the Hambone Kids: "Hambone"

And finally, the original -- very old and of unknown origin.

"Hush, Little Baby"

How's that for evolution?
