This is a Ralph Stanley tune, a lighthearted, tongue-in-cheek one about a girl. Here are the lyrics (just because you might get a bang out of them even if you don't know the chords):

Not too many miles from here
In a town that I love dear
There's a lady that's got me on a string
She's the worst you ever saw
She nearly broke my jaw
She made me carry my left arm in a sling.

She's my darlin, my daisy
She's knock-kneed, she's lazy
Humpbacked, box-ankled and she's lame
Oh, her nose is like a cork,
She's the terror of New York
My long, skinny, lanky Sarah Jane.

Oh Jane, my good old Jane,
Won't you come back to yer bonehead once again
Oh, they say she's mighty nice
but her armpits smell like spice
She's my long, skinny, lanky Sarah Jane.


I'm trying to pick it out in G on my banjo, because I'm strictly a novice player and heck, G's easy. Plus, I figure Ralph Stanley picked the banjo too, so mebbe he went the easy route.

G treats me OK in this tune till the chord change at "my darlin, my daisy" and then I get flustered.

Anybody know this funny tune?

Thanks
