Campbell's Farewell to Red Gap

Fiddlers, here's a great clip to learn this three part tune.

She plays it as a march, then faster as a reel.

Of course, it's played on the banjo!

Cherry River Line

Such a great lonesome tune!

CHERRY RIVER LINE

Well it's Lonesome down here

It's lonesome all the time

It's lonesome down here 

On this Cherry River line

Told my little girl

Told her all I can

I'll find me another woman

You can get you another man

Now she's gone away

She left me here to leave

Some other runner's daughter 

In the middle of her week

Where'd you get those high-top shoes

And the dress you wear so fine

I got the shoes from a railroad man

And the dress from a driver in the mine

Well it's Lonesome down here

It's lonesome all the time

It's lonesome down here 

On this Cherry River line

Say Darlin' Say

I'd say this is my favorite version of this tune!
