Check on threads about New Lost City Ramblers... here is a more-or-less complete discography and I see Railroad Blues and Railroad Bill and Broken Down Gambler and Roving Gambler. Do you suppose it is one of those songs you are looking for? |

12 May 08 - 09:03 PM (#2338876) Subject: RE: Tom Paley Railroading And Gambling From: Severn Sorcha- He recorded it originally with The New Lost City Ramblers on their first album playing the banjo in the style of Uncle Dave Macon who recorded the 78 he learned it from. Back then he played banjo, guitar and dobro-the fiddle is a relatively recent addition to his arsenal. Olddude- It might have been included in "The New Lost City Ramblers Songbook" published by Oak Publications back in the 1960s sometime. Also google Uncle Dave Macon and see what you can find. I replaced my LPs and tapes with the two JSP boxed sets that contain all of his commercially recorded works, so I forget which of the individual albums scattered around on County, Folkways, MCA/Decca and the like that it was on. Another boxed set was put out in Germany on the Bear Family label. The Macon version was anthologized on LP on "Smoky Mountain Ballads" (RCA Vintage LPV 507) which was later condensed a bit onto a Camden/Pickwick cheapie LP (ACL 7022). It was also included on LP on "Nashville-The Early String Bands Vol.1" (County 541) which, I believe is available as a CD, so you might google County Records. Happy hunting! |

13 May 08 - 01:40 AM (#2338968) Subject: ADD: Railroading And Gambling From: Joe Offer Hi, Olddude - As far as I can tell, the song is not in the New Lost City Ramblers Songbook. It is on the 1958 self-titled album by the New Lost City Ramblers. Here are the lyrics from the album notes: RAILROADING AND GAMBLING What your mama done told you Six months ago, Keep on your hat and coat, Be ready to go. (CHORUS) Railroading and gambling, Picking up chits for a madman, Lord, Lord, Lord. Been in the State House Been in that yard Been in the coalhouse Worked least of all. (CHORUS) Said that preacher, Golly ain't it a sin, Johnny get your britches 'Cause here comes the wind. Out on the railroad Down on the track. Lost all my money, No way to get back. John - banjo and vocal The liner notes say only that Uncle Dave Macon recorded the song. |

I organized a house concert for him and he stayed at my house and we jammed!! What an honor. He tours the u.s. every now and then. He lived in Sweden for years and now is in England, as you can see by the posts above from our U.K. catters. He is a treasure! |

He was learning the fiddle then as I recall, even so there was only slight heckling. Hope the Enterprise and especially Marine Ices are still there! |
