Anyone have the lyrics and know the origin/writer for "This (My) Last Day"? I ran across it on an old album called Red, White, and Bluegrass, on which the singing is mediocre, but Vassar's fiddle playing is awesome, as usual. Thanks.

Refreshing a very old thread here--

According to Allmusic.com, the band is called Red, White, & Blue (Grass); the album is "Pickin' Up!", originally released as an LP in 1974 and re-released as a CD (with bonus tracks) by the Ginn Music Group in 1999. The song is THIS LAST DAY and it was written by Dave Sebolt. Here's what I was able to transcribe from a sound sample:

... my end has begun.
It's dyin' that's payment for what I have done.
... this mornin' won't be worth a dime.
This cell is my refuge....
