Sourwood Mountain / Story and Song / Clawhammer Banjo
Sourwood Mountain is timeless classic traditional Appalachian folk song universally beloved. In this video I tell a story in the intro and then sing and play the song clawhammer style on the banjo. Last song of the Summer north of the equator.
Sourwood Mountain - lyrics

Pick out melody while singing
Chickens a-crowin' on Sourwood Mountain,
Hey, ho, diddle-um day.
So many pretty girls I can't count 'em,
Hey ho, diddle-um day.
chickens crownin on sourwood mountain
so many pretty girls I cant count em
I like living on sourwood mountain
Hey, ho, diddle-um day.
My true love's a blue-eyed daisy,
Hey, ho, diddle-um day.
If I cant have her, I'll go crazy.
Hey, ho, diddle-um day.
My true love's a blue-eyed daisy,
If I cant have her, I'll go crazy.
I like living on sourwood mountain
Hey, ho, diddle-um day.
Big dog bark and little one bite you,
Hey, ho, diddle-um day.
Big girl court and little one spite you.
Hey, ho, diddle-um day.
Big dog bark and little one bite you,
Big girl court and little one spite you.
I like living on sourwood mountain
Hey, ho, diddle-um day.
Ducks a swimming up the river.
Hey, ho, diddle-um day.
and in the winter time we sure shiver.
Hey, ho, diddle-um day.
Ducks a swimming up the river.
and in the winter time we sure shiver.
I like living on sourwood mountain
Hey, ho, diddle-um day.
My true love lives at the head of the holler,
Hey, ho, diddle-um day.
She won't come and I won't foller.
Hey, ho, diddle-um day.
My true love lives at the head of the holler,
She won't come and I won't foller.
I like living on sourwood mountain
Hey, ho, diddle-um day.
Chickens a-crowin' on Sourwood Mountain,
hey, ho, diddle-um day.
So many pretty girls I can't count 'em,
Hey ho, diddle-um day.
Chickens a-crowin' on Sourwood Mountain,
So many pretty girls I can't count 'em
I like living on sourwood mountain
hey, ho, diddle-um day.
