Broke her lit tle an kle bone from danc in’ at the Hall. Some play the tune in the opposite order, i.e. what’s here called the [B] part first. You can find both orders on YouTube, and in various tune-books. This is how it’s shown in the Fiddler’s Fakebook, and (perhaps therefore) how I learned it. Arr. by Pete Showman 9/30/05; re-typeset in ABC 3/5/12; rev 2: 8/25/15; rev 3: 3/1/2018 Stephen Foster wrote a song called Angelina Baker in 1851, with a different (though some say related) tune. Since this one is more common in old-time circles and is often called "Angelina Baker", we’ve called the Foster song Angelina Baker’s Gone, to distinguish them. Lyrics to this tune often seem to reflect a mix of Angeline, the Baker, and Foster’s Angelina Baker. These lyrics are from Mudcat Cafe and other sources; they’re arranged to work with the usual AABB repeat pattern. 2A. Angelina Baker, her age is forty-three I give her candy by the peck, but she won’t marry me. Angelina Baker, Angeline I know Wish I’d married Angeline, twenty years ago. 2B. She won’t do the bakin’ because she is too stout She makes cookies by the peck and throws the coffee out. Angeline taught me to weep, she taught me to moan Angeline taught me to weep, and play on the old jawbone Final chorus 1x (to ’A’ part): Angelina Baker, Angelina Baker Angeline, Angeline, won’t you please be mine?

Once upon a time in Arkansas, an old man sat in his little cabin door, And fiddled at a tune that he liked to hear, a jolly old tune that he played by ear. It was raining hard but the fiddler didn’t care, he sawed away at the popular air, Though his roof-tree** leaked like a water-fall, it didn’t seem to bother the old man at all. 2. A traveler was riding by that day, and stopped to hear the fiddler play; The cabin was afloat and his feet were wet, but still the old man didn’t seem to fret. So the stranger said: "Now it seems to me, you’d better mend your roof," said he. But the old man said, as he played away: "I couldn’t mend it now, it’s a rainy day." 3. The traveler replied: "That’s all quite true, but this, I think, is the thing for you to do; Get busy on a day that is fair and bright, then pitch the old roof till it’s good and tight." But the old man kept on playin’ at his reel, and tapped the ground with his leathery heel: "Get along," said he, "for you give me a pain; my cabin never leaks when it doesn’t rain!" ** A roof-tree is a ridgepole running along the peak of the roof. Arr. and typeset in ABC by Pete Showman 1/24/06; rev 4: 3/3/18 Pete Showman Mar 3, 2018 ArkansasTraveler_r4.abc 3 Key: G Barlow Knife Traditional old-time = 100 A GD GDG D C G ( ) ( ) 5 GD GDGDCG 9 B GDG 13 C DG DGDG D G etc. Arranged and typeset in ABC by Pete Showman 6/11/2013. A barlow is a style of pocket knife made since the 1600s, with a folding blade and a tapered handle whose hinge end is wrapped in a metal bolster for strength. This is mostly a fiddle tune but words like these are commonly sung once or twice, e.g. during the first halves of the A and B parts. There are many variations. I’ve been livin’ here all my life, an’ all I want is a barlow knife. Stag-horn handle and a barlow blade; best darn knife that ever was made. And maybe in the C part: Barlow knife, barlow blade, best darn knife that ever was made. Pete Showman Jun 11, 2013 BarlowKnife_r1.abc 4 MIDI for the tune is available at www.fiddlers.org/tunes A simple version of Cripple Creek, more or less as I would sing it: Key: A major Cripple Creek Traditional old-time = 90 Arr.

I’ve got a gal at the head of the creek, goin’ up to see her ’bout two times a week. She’s got eyes of darkest brown, makes my head turn all a-roun’ B. Goin’ up Cripple Creek, goin’ on a run, goin’ up Cripple Creek to have a little fun. Goin’ up Cripple Creek, goin’ in a whirl, goin’ up Cripple Creek to see my girl.

Here’s a video of the band playing it on Hootenanny, around 1964: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nov127Ta_Eg This instrumental break is based on "Fiddlin’" Doc Roberts’s mandolin playing on a 1934 recording by Asa Martin (1900-1979, guitar and probably vocals here), and Roberts (1897-1978, playing mandolin on this recording though he was mainly known as a fiddler).

  • Worried Man Blues (A.K.A
    Worried Man Blues (a.k.a. "Wearied Man Blues", "Worried Man Song", "It Takes A Worried Man") Words & Music: Traditional American Everyone knows who has recorded this song -- The Carter Family, Blind Boy Fuller, Woody Guthrie & Cisco Houston, Lonnie Donegan, The Kingston Trio, etc. -- but its writer is a murkier discussion (and makes the last line rather ironic). The earliest reference I've heard is it as a worksong, and sung much slower, in the Oklahoma oil fields in the 1920s (see the discussions on Mudcat Café). I'm inclined to agree. Sounghound Stephen Kermode sent along the song. I've included his version and the one used by The Carter Family and Woody Guthrie & Cisco Houston. 1. Stephen Kermode's version CHORUS: G It takes a worried man to sing a worried song, C G It takes a worried man to sing a worried song, G It takes a worried man to sing a worried song, D G I'm worried now, but I won't be worried long. CHORUS: I went across the river, I laid down to sleep. [3x] When I woke up, there were shackles on my feet. Twenty-nine links of chain around my leg. [3x] And on each link, the initial of my name. CHORUS: I asked the judge what might be my fine. [3x] Twenty-one years on the Rocky Mountain Line. The train that I ride, sixteen coaches long. [3x] The girl I love is on that train and gone. CHORUS: If anyone asks you who composed this song, [3x] Tell him it was I and I sing it all day long.

    Lincoln Association For Traditional Arts Since 1982. News To Put A Little LAFTA In Your Life ! Spring 2007- 2008 PO Box 30561 Lincoln, NE 68503 LAFTA is fortunate to be able to host a concert in The Loft at the Mill, Saturday, March 8 at 7:30 pm, featuring Diana Jones. She was a winner of the 2006 Kerrville New Folk Songwriting Contest and has toured this country and Europe, sharing the stage with Martina McBride, Del McCoury Band, Guy Clark, Odetta, Old Crow Medicine Show, and John Gorka among others. During the summer of 2007 Diana played several top music festivals, including Philly, Newport, American and Rhythm & Roots. Her latest CD titled My Remembrance of You was released in Europe in May, while Diana followed with 3 tours including performances at Cambridge Folk Festival, Galway Arts Festival and a tour for legend Richard Thompson at some of Europe’s top venues. "It goes without saying, Diana Jones is a consummate singer and writer, who totally charms audiences. What sets her apart — and this is the highest praise in a crowded music profession — is her originality. Her music doesn't sound like anyone else's." — Richard Thompson Diana’s themes are love, loss, and redemption. From the mournful lament of a dance hall girl to the stomping melodic rant of a young woman’s burial instructions, each of Diana’s original songs from her CD My Remembrance of You draws life from old-timey, country blues and mountain music. Critics across the nation have extolled the wonders of her music and performances: Chicago Tribune declares Diana Jones's "My Remembrance of You" #1 Country album of the Year! “Jones is on the verge of a critical breakthrough.
