I`ll Rise When The Rooster Crows - Banjo
I`ll Rise When The Rooster Crows is a traditional American Folk song. The Binkley Brothers Dixie Clodhoppers recorded this song in 19 and 28. I play it two finger thumb lead on the mountain banjo. If the banjo sounds quieter lately it`s because I stuffed a huge car wash sponge in the back to cut down on the overtones and volume. Also I`ve started adding more compression so I can crank the volume really loud without clipping. It`s all a work in progress folks. Thanks for listening.
1. If the golden shoes you hear so much about
Were worn down here, you'd soon wear 'em out.
We're gonna take up 'em yonder for to put on our robes.
Gonna put on my golden shoes.
CHORUS: I'll rise when the rooster crows.
I'll rise when the rooster crows.
I'm going back south where the sun shines hot,
Down where the sugar cane grows.
2. Don't let old Satan try to fool you,
For the gates will be closed and you can't get through.
With a long white robe and the white socks too,
Gonna put on my golden shoes.
3. When Gabriel comes for to blow his horn,
Well, you needn't pull back for you gotta go on,
So prepare yourself for the judgment day,
For you can't take money and buy your way.
4. We'll have cider all the fall,
For I said I's going to the ball,
Where the duck chews tobacco and the goose drinks wine,
The old hen cackles while the rooster keeps the time.
5. Whatcha gonna do when the women are all dead?
Gonna sit in the corner with a hung-down head.
Well, if I had to marry, I wouldn't marry for riches.
I'd marry a big fat gal who couldn't wear the britches.
