01 Mar 01 - 02:51 AM (#408634) Subject: Goin' Back to Blue Ridge Mountain From: Joe Offer My friend Louise sang a song tonight, and she's looking for more verses. Here are the phrases I gleanded from the song. I can't find any in the database. Are they enough for somebody to recognize? Goin back to Blue Ridge MountainTo me, they're just generic, Appalachian-sounding phrases, but she put them together into a nice song. Can anybody identify it? -Joe Offer- |

Any more verses, and any background information on the song? -Joe Offer- GOING BACK TO THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS(CHORUS) You can't be my little darling You have caused me lots of trouble
Apparently, the song may have been written by the Delmore Brothers. -Joe Offer- |

01 Mar 01 - 05:59 AM (#408661) Subject: Lyr Add: GOING BACK TO THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS From: Stewie According to Charles Wolfe, Alton Delmore was the author of 'Going Back to the Blue Ridge Mountains'. It, and several other songs, were published under the name 'Jim Scott', but that was a pseudonym for Alton Delmore. The lyrics are a bit different from those posted above by Joe. GOING BACK TO THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS (Alton Delmore)

Syd Nathan, the owner of King, wanted the publishing rights for his company, Lois, and the Delmores solved the problem by publishing their early King sides under pen names. [Information from Charles Wolfe in liner notes to County CCS-110]. --Stewie

Have heard similar songs, though. The old, "Who'll rock the cradle" song has a verse: Well I've done all I could to try'n live with you, an I'll send you to yer Momma next payday!" which sums it all up in a nutshell I guess. The version picked and sung around in Perry Co., KY, had some verses almost unfit to print (more funny than dirty, though). Jean |

Come to think of it, the lyrics I've seen in your books are ALL pretty clean - not like Randolph's books at all. Are your books trying to say your mountains are clean, and Randolph's Ozarks are "otherwise"?? -Joe Offer- |

09 Mar 01 - 08:10 PM (#414346) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Goin' Back to the Blue Ridge Mountains From: kytrad (Jean Ritchie) Nah...I guess I just chose the clean songs, but our family WAS pretty strictly raised; just the mores of our community and region. I remember one of my older sisters saying that, when she was young, it was thought that only "lowdown" boys picked the banjer. NEVER girls, of course. So as not to be accused of teasing anyone, here's one of my favorite funny verses, usually just thrown in after a long fit of picking: Well I'll go up in the loft and I'll take my britchies off And I'll dance in my long shimmy-tail! |
