The number is based loosely on an earlier folk song called variously "Get Along Home Cindy," "Whoop 'Em Up, Cindy, "Get On Board, Little Children," along with many other titles.
In April 1924, two Appalachian ladies, Samantha Bumgarner and Eva Davis, became one of the first Country acts to be recorded. The session was held in New York for the Columbia Phonograph Company and consisted of 12 tracks (other sources say ten). The second of these tracks was "Cindy In The Meadows" and it is a clear ancestor of what we know today as "Cindy, Cindy."
(I choose to ignore Ernest Hare & Al Bernard's 1923 recording of "Cindy," which is often cited as an early version of the song, as it bears no resemblance to the song as we know it.)
Various other versions of this traditional number have been recorded, most with different lyrics to those supplied to Elvis. Amongst these: Ricky Nelson (with same title as Elvis's, in 1959) and Trini Lopez (1968 as "I'm Coming Home Cindy).

Damit der Beitrag besser in die R & R - Ära passt, wo er auch angesiedelt ist, drei legale Beispiele von Vorgängern des Elvis-Songs "Cindy, Cindy" von Buddy Kaye, Ben Weisman und Dolores Fuller, der als Vorbild ein altes Traditional hatte, welches bereits 1904 in einem Songbook auftauchte. Ein, zumindest für Schallplattensammler, illegales Beispiel gab es 1959 von Ricky Nelson. Ich konnte es seinerzeit in einem Lichtspieltheater (deutscher Name für Kino) legal genießen, indem ich mir den Spielfilm "Rio Bravo" ansah.
Das erste und zweite Beispiel stammt aus dem Gospelbereich und beim dritten Beispiel aus dem Skiffle-Bereich ist eine Erklärung notwendig, da die ELECTROLA Mist gebaut hat.
Der Titel den man tatsächlich auf der Platte hört lautet "Get Along Home Cindy" (McDuff)
