I didn't have any problem decyphering them when my ears were younger and I wrote them out then. That Biograph record is my all-time favorite old-time recording...Cold Icey Floor, Who Broke the Lock, Sugar Hill etc. Larry |

Could you post their "Who broke the Lock" version to the thread by the same name? (And any others on the album you might be inspired to do!) My midwestern ears have trouble with this record. harpgrrrl |

26 Apr 01 - 12:42 PM (#449905) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Cold Icy Floor From: harpgirl Your tab and song sheet arrived today, Larry. Thanks so much for taking time out to send this to me. I will type in the words here later tonight. The tab may force me to learn a little more on banjo. Listening to Jon Freeman play banjo on Paltalk the other night was such pleasure. Perhaps when I see the FOTMC banjo champ from 1999 next week he will teach me a lick or two! harpgirl |

I'll go across the river and I'll get me some more Get me some more Get me some more Oh, I'll go across the river and I'll get me some more The way I done before. Oh, my donny went to Mobile and I told her not to go I told her not to go I told her not to go Oh, my donny went to Mobile and I told her not to go Oh, they left me on that cold icy floor Oh, they left me a laying on that cold icy floor On that cold icy floor On that cold icy floor They left me a laying on that cold icy floor Awaiting for that eastbound train ( I finished my sandwich early!) |

26 Jul 19 - 09:48 PM (#4002219) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Cold Icy Floor From: GUEST,Si Kahn This is one of my personal favorite albums. I particularly love "Cold Icy Floor," but I'm puzzled by the word "donny." That's as far as I know I male name, but that doesn't work here: "My donny went to Mobile and I told her not to go" wouldn't make sense. What I hear is "doney" with a long 'O.' Someone (sorry, I can't remember who) told me that's a word for "sweetheart," losely derived from the Spanish "dueña." Has anyone else heard this explanation? Also, I hear "Noble" rather than "Mobile." Anyone else? |

The word "doney" makes sense to me, but it surprises me that Harpgirl would miss that word, if that's what it is. If I recall correctly, Harpy once belonged to a group called the Doney Girls. I'm getting old, so my recollection may be incorrect. |
