guest I am missing something. When you say that "most of the lyrics are not appropriate for a kid to sing" what are some of the songs you are thinking of specifically?
I am hard-pressed to think of any bluegrass songs with lyrics that I would call objectionable.
But anyway, How about
Foggy mountain top
Bringing Mary Home
Ain't gonna work tomorrow
Hello stranger
Let the whole world talk
Kentucky
Blue moon of Kentucky
etc.

OK, these are more old-timey than BG, but it's a start....

Also, feel free to adapt lyrics-- they were often sung thisaway or thataway when first created, so why not?

my 11 year old son wants to sing more bluegrass songs, but other than gospels most of the lyrics are not appropriate for a kid to sing. he does "jimmy brown the newsboy" now....any ideas for other songs?
