Noah Stevens My daughter (5 years old) complained loudly when my wife changed the channel on this song when it was played on The Gamut 94.3 here in Frederick, yesterday, and so I bought it for her (my daughter) and am pretty pleased with it. Favorite track: Undone in Sorrow.

Over yonder in the graveyard, where the wild, wild flowers grow Oh, there lays my own true lover, she's gone from me forevermore. Fairer than the sweetest flower, restless as the wildest wind, born with a love deep as the ocean, this was the girl that I did win. I left her there, back on the mountain, to see the world, riches to gain. Oh, when I returned, no earthly treasure could ease this heart so full of pain. There so high upon the mountain, beneath a little mound of clay, the girl that I returned to marry so still among the flow'rs did lay. I'll go away and I will wander, lay aside my earthly gain, and I'll not end as a man with riches. Undone in sorrow I'll remain.

I'd rather be in some dark holler, Where the sun don't ever shine Than you to be some other man's darling When you are no longer mine When I sleep I dream about you. When I wake I have no rest. Every moment seems an hour... Oh the pain in my breast. At my gate you're always welcome At my door, please enter in. In my heart, I'll always love you. You're the one I tried to win.

Had a calf I know'd it'd die x3 You could tell right well by the look in it's eye Asked my kinfolks to come in x3 For to help me kill and skin All the buzzards come flocking around x3 At last they lit upon the ground They got mad enough to fight x3 Because we robbed them of their right Keep one quarter yes I will x3 And sell the rest to Kaiser Bill Chorus: Walk ol' Jo Bones, walk away Walk ol' Jo Bones walk all day

Looked down the road, what do I see Another man's got my woman, and the blues got me Money, oh money, money I see Raising strawberries made a man out of me I've got money, I've got my shoes, I've got a woman with the strawberry blues Good lookin' women sure do make me tall, I wish I could sleep tonight I have to work so hard
7.
(chorus)Look up, look down, that lonesome road Hang down your little head and cry x2 The darkest night I ever did see was the day I left my home The day I left my home (chorus) A few good friends must part sometime, so why not you and I, my love Why not you and I (chorus)

Well it's lonesome here, it's lonesome all the time. Lonesome on that Cherry, Cherry River Line. Got a girl on yonder's mountain, I know she won't be mine. I know that she loves me, 'cause she's always on my mind. Yonder stands little Miguel, her wineglass in her hand. She's drinking down her troubles, courting another man. Well, when I die just bury me by the tie. I can hear that Number Four when she goes rolling by. Well, it's lonesome here, it's lonesome everywhere. Lonesome on that Cherry, Cherry River Line

When you hear the whipporwhills a-hollering, It's corn planting time, boys, corn planting time. There's not a hammer in the Allegheny Mountains That rings like mine, babe, that rings like mine. When you hear my bulldog barking, there's somebody around, woman, somebody around. When you hear my forty-four a-roaring, There's another man dead, another man dead.

The old woman's standing in the door x2 The old woman's callin' (squallin'?) and the little children bawlin' Johnny don't you come here no more. (chorus) I'm bound for the C and O Train x2 I'll pick up my hat and my old walking cane Bound for that C and O Train. Well I never will get drunk any more x2 I'll lay my head on the bar-room floor (or, lean my head on the bar-room door) and I never will get drunk, no more. (chorus)

about

This is my first solo album for banjo. I got the idea back in 2009 after playing in Santa Fe with the Martin Family. I started working on it in 2010 and eventually I added more musicians and even did a session in Brooklyn in 2012 that reached out to the Irish and blues connections as they relate to banjo. In October 2014 we had a gathering at NOMA gallery in Frederick for the early edition. I hope you like it, and please reach out to me on email with any questions or comments. Thanks very much.
