No tune given; not easy to fit this scansion to the Puckett-McMichen "standard" tune. Got a feeling this, like "Pretty Little Widow" and some others, is a song that originally had a good many more verses, but has lost all but a few. Chances are the Wolf tune must have varied quite a bit: Well, I sent my son John out one day For to hunt the old gray mare-o, And he was gone, and he was gone-o. Well, I got uneasy about my son John-o, And where do you reckon I found my son John? A-sitting way down yonder on an old holler log, A-picking on an old . . . banjo, And the tune went: Sody, sody, Paddy, won't you drink some, Paddy, won't you drink some, Paddy, won't you drink some Good old cider. Go to Bailey Watts's And get some cider. |

The Bluegrass Messengers link "Davy, Davy," "Goin' Down the River," and "Paddy Won't You Drink Some Good Old Cider," and give some lyrics under "Davy, Davy." www.bluegrassmessengers.com/master/davy.html Also see Ceolas. |
