Wild Rose Of The Mountain | Si Kahn | Banjo cover

Wild Rose Of The Mountain is a song written by Si Kahn. I talk a little about Si Kahn in the intro then sing and play the song on the banjo in the clawhammer style. I first heard this song on Ryan Spearman`s channel (Play Better Banjo) earlier this past Summer and was blown away by the song and how he sang and played it. I highly recommmend his channel. I`ll be taking a deep dive in Si Kahn`s catelog as I am a newcomer to his music.

WILD ROSE OF THE MOUNTAIN - LYRICS
Written by - Si Kahn
Performed by - Dan D. Dirges
Banjo tuning - dGEGB

If I had my life to live, I'd sure live it over.
Only walk in brand new shoes and just lay down in clover.
Only work on Christmas Day. All the rest go sportin'.
Spend my days down at the creek, and ev'ry night go courtin'.

Cho: Honey from the honey comb, water from the fountain.
Sugar from the sugar cane and my wild rose of the mountain.

When I think of home sweet home, it makes my eyes grow misty.
Poppa singing gospel songs and Momma sippin' whiskey.
Whiskey from a white oak barrel sure does make good liquor.
Makes the nights seem twice as bright and the days go by much quicker.

If I had a pickup truck, I'd fill it up with water.
Paint a catfish on the side and make believe I'd caught her.
Drive it slowly down the road, try to keep from bumpin'.
Park it down beside the creek and watch those fish come jumpin'.

If I had a new-made quilt, I'd fill it up with feathers.
Take my Rosie by the hand and lay down there together.
Oh, the days that I was young! Thoughts that keep returning
Drive the winter night away just like a log fire burning.
