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!

Greasy Coat

I don't drink & I don't smoke, I don't wear no greasy coat.
I don't spit & I don't chew and I don't go with boys that do.
I don't cheat & I don't lie, With a boy like you I'd give it a try.
I don't kiss & I don't tell, And all you sinners are going to hell.
Tell the preacher, tell the pope, That I don't wear a greasy coat.

 It doesn't get much better than this!

Notes from The Traditional Tune Archive:

"GREASY COAT. AKA and see "Old Greasy Coat." Old-Time, Breakdown. USA, West Virginia. A Dorian. Standard or AEae (Edden Hammons) tunings (fiddle). ABCC. There are several meanings for the term 'greasy coat.' It said to have been an old-time euphemism for a condom (although verification of this in the literature is wanting), but it has also been suggested the term refers to an unwashed fleece (i.e. still retaining the lanolin), and a Confederate soldiers coat, worn, greasy and dirty from overuse.  The tune was recorded from the playing of Webster County, West Virginia, fiddler Edden Hammons (1876-1955) in 1947, collected by Louis Chappell."
