The Fate of Dewey Lee

The Carter Family... The Fate of Dewey Lee (RealAudio 02:59). "...On January 31, 1931, Dewey Lee was shot at a party in the Wise County community of Ramsey. Joe Jenkins was eventually convicted for the slaying. Newspaper reports say Lee pulled a gun while arguing with another man, and as Jenkins fought to disarm Lee, the gun went off. Other accounts gathered by folklorist Doug DeNatale mention competition between Jenkins and Lee over a woman, and some local folks thought the party was a trap for Lee. In any case Jenkins' claim of self-defense failed to sway the court, and he was sentenced to five years in prison.

'The Fate of Dewey Lee' was written by the famous Southwest Virginia country music performer and songwriter A. P. Carter. The Carter Family recorded the song in 1935 despite somplaints by the Lee family, and to a small degree it passsed into oral tradition."

From Deathly Lyrics: Songs of Virginia Tragedies.
