Subject: Lyr Add: GEORGIA RAILROAD From: GLoux Date: 26 May 04 - 03:20 PM GEORGIA RAILROAD - (trad.) Peter and I we went fishin' Georgia Railroad I am bound; Caught a big mud-cat, put him in the kitchen, Georgia Railroad, Georgia gal. I led sheep up to the pasture, Georgia Railroad I am bound; But my gal said: "Sheep can't you go a little faster", Georgia Railroad, Georgia gal. Sheep said: "Cow, I have a sore toe", Georgia Railroad I am bound; Cow said: "Sheep, I did not know", Georgia Railroad, Georgia gal. Well I'm goin' down the road and the road's all muddy, Georgia Railroad I am bound; But I'm so drunk I can't stand steady, Georgia Railroad, Georgia gal. -Greg |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Georgia Railroad From: Q (Frank Staplin) Date: 26 May 04 - 04:16 PM These verses are like Gid Tanner's. I am surprised that they haven't been entered into Mudcat before. Not in the Traditional Ballad Index, but covered by Richie's Bluegrass Messengers site. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Georgia Railroad From: GLoux Date: 27 May 04 - 08:13 AM Yep...I looked for them in Mudcat in response to a request on an old-time group and didn't find them, so I "borrowed" Gid Tanner's lyrics from the Bluegrass Messengers site. -Greg |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Georgia Railroad From: GUEST,David Usher Date: 13 Jul 21 - 07:54 PM "Traditional" means we don't know who wrote the tune. Just think of all the old fiddlers forgotten before the days of records and collectors. |
