frustration talking here.

Can anyone send me a scan of the melody line for this tune, and/or a midi of the melody line? I have found several midi's of it on the web - but they are so complex (at least to me) that I cannot derive the melody line from them. I can sing the bloody lyrics in the DT to the tune, but I can't get the melody line extracted!!!!!

This tune is what the lyrics for "Granny's in the Cellar" is sung to.

MMario, e-mail me a midi or two. I could possibly extract the melody line from the rest of the midi and send it back to you without the clutter.

If the tune is the same as Y'all come I have the original sheet music by Arlie Duffy (1953).

I have put the melody line in MusicTime, but can't figure out how to make it into an impage file. I will try to save it as a Midi and convert it to the Midi Text format for you.

The Mid2Txt program works like a charm! Thanks Alan!!!

Here is the melody line from the original sheet music of Y'all Come by Arlie Duff. (I went down to the Library of Congress one day and looked it up).

It is in C.

If you PM me a fax number I can fax the music with chord changes to you too.

Also if you go to

http://www.kafiristan.com/

They have a banjo workshop on Granny in the Cellar, with chord changes and a real audio file (or at least there was a real audio file at one time).

BB - thanx - but your tune doesn't appear to match the lyrics I have; (leastwise I couldn't match 'em)

Jeri managed to get me a melody line I could work with...

thanks to both of you!

Could you post the Midi text that Jeri came up with here too? I would be interested in hearing it to see what the differences are, especially since I am pretty sure Arlie Duff wrote the original lyrics to Y'all Come, if not the original tune. It is always interesting to see how songs and tunes change over time ( That is presuming I entered it correctly).

Y'ALL COME
Recorded by Arleigh Duff
Written by Arleigh Duff

When you live in the country
Ever'body is your neighbor
On this one thing you can rely
They'll all come to see you
And never ever leave you
Sayin', Y'all come to see us bye and bye.
CHORUS

Y'all come, Y'all come.
Oh, Y'all come to see us when you can
Y'all come, Y'all come
Oh, Y'all come to see us now and then.

Kinfolks a-comin'
They're comin' by the dozen
Eatin' ever'thing from soup to hay
And right after dinner
They ain't lookin' any thinner
And here's what you hear them say.

CHORUS

Pore old Grandmaw's a-wishin'
They'd come out to the kitchen
And help do the dishes right away
But they all start a-leavin'
Even though she's a-grievin'
You can still hear Grandmaw say:

it'll have to be after the weekend. One thing I discovered is that there are at least two "y'all come" songs out there. (and I just discovered there is one in the DT that needs a tune - ....

okay - here is what I derived out of what Jeri derived from a midi I found for a song called "Y'all Come" - which had substantially different lyrics then those in the DT or posted above. But to my ear at least the midi I found fit the lyrics of "Granny's in the Celler" better. I could be wrong.

You're Right. This is way different that the "Y'all Come" that I know.

Also, If you want to hear Granny in the Cellar you need to go to Karifstan.com very quickly. I understand that it is being taken down this week.

I went ahead and set you the granny in the cellar workshop file from the above. Hope it helps.

On this site is a wav and a real audio file of Cousin Herb Henson singing Y'all Come.

Thanks for the link, VAL--a nice rendition, with a very informative piece about Cousin Herb Henson, too--and the guitar solo is pretty unusual--

Presumably any Come All Ye tune would do?
