The biggest thing was to slow the heck down, I could probably do with going even slower actually. And going slow you can't fudge as many notes without sounding horrible so it's good practice. It's actually sounding a bit closer to the real thing, and I'm having a blast learning me some Carter Family!
So keep at it Mr.Slacker, practice may not make perfect, but it's still fun along the way!
I noticed you don't play the hammer on that most throw in at the tenth note in the melody. It sounds a little smoother that way, did you intentionally leave it out? This is one of the first songs I was taught on the guitar by my grandmother.

So I tell 'em I'm a pro jock and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama himself. The Twelfth son of the Lama; the flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So i'm on the first tee with him, I give him the driver; he hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long...into a ten thousand foot crevasse right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says: (pause) 'Gunga Galunga... gunga, gunga-lagunga.' So we finish the 18th and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, 'Hey, Lama, hey. How about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know?' And he says, 'Oh, uh, there won't be any money. But when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness.' So i've got THAT going for me. Which is nice."
