"Sheep and Cows Walking Through The Pasture [key of D: banjo - aDADE] We learned this from a 1983 recording made by Andy Cahan of Roscoe Parish (1897-1904) of Coal Creek, VA, near Galax. Its phrasing and chord changes might drive you mad, but we love tunes like this. The title might lead one to think that it is related to a similarly-titled tune found on Buddy Thomas' Kitty Puss CD, Rounder 0032, but it is not. The other thoughts that would immediately come to mind include the lyrics to "Old Jimmie Sutton" (which we also play in a much more conventional manner), and in fact those lyrics scan very well if you've got the brainwaves to easily follow the contours of crooked tunes. In fact, they scan so well we now believe that this is a slightly fractured variant of "Old Jimmie Sutton." Lyrics to OJS are fairly commonplace, but particularly nice ones can be found in Thomas Talley's Negro Folk Rhymes."

from here.


I will go seek lyrics now.
