I met her in the early 80s, when she was on tour in England. She was travelling light, so borrowed my banjo when she played out local folk club. She was a memorably nice person. Quack! GtD. |

22 Oct 09 - 06:06 PM (#2750601) Subject: Lyr Add: WHITE OAK MOUNTAIN From: Jim Dixon There's a video YouTube where The Milltown Band performs APPALACHIAN ROUND followed by the traditional song WHITE OAK MOUNTAIN and the instrumental KITCHEN GIRL. The accompanying text gives these lyrics: WHITE OAK MOUNTAIN Oh, do you remember that rocky mountain side where we sat down to rest? You promised you'd be my blue-eyed boy with the sun goin' down in the west. I wish to the Lord I'd never been born, or died when I was young. I'd never have seen your blue eyes shine, or heard your lyin' tongue. Now hand me down my old white coat, it's a-hangin' there on the nail. Before this time tomorrow night I'll be out on that long-lost trail. I never will believe what no man says, though his eyes be blue or brown, Unless he's hangin' from the scaffold high sayin' "Darlin', I can't come down." Another version of WHITE OAK MOUNTAIN, as sung by Lily May Ledford, was posted here. Mike Seeger also recorded WHITE OAK MOUNTAIN. |
