Thread Name: Lyr Req: Seneca Square Dance
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Seneca Square Dance
I was looking to see if there were lyrics to "got a little home to go to" - a banjo tab I like in a book of clawhammer banjo by Alec Slater, and it led me to this thread. Supposedly the same tune as Seneca.
I found these lyrics on a site called traditionalmusic.co.uk
Got A Little Home To Go To From: Tom, Brad and Alice. From Collins Family Oklahoma. Key G; fiddle in GDAD
Saddle old Mike I tell you
I'm goin' away to leave you
I'm goin' back to Texas
To eat cornbread and molasses
chorus:
Got a little home to go to
Got a little home to go to
Got a little home to go to
I've got a little home to go to
Rabbit where's your mammy
Tell me where's your mammy
I ain't got time to tell you
I'm goin' to Alabammy
repeat chorus
Saddle old Mike I tell you
I'm goin' away to leave you
I'm goin' back to Arkansas
To eat cornbread and possum jaw
repeat chorus
Rabbit where's your mammy
Tell me where's your mammy
I ain't got time to tell you
The greyhound's right behind me
repeat chorus (twice)
Structure: 2A, 2B, Asung, Ainstr, Bchorus, Binstr. etc
