Going Across the Mountain is an old civil war traditional folk song. I have played many times in different ways on banjo and guitar. Here I play it Clawhammer Guitar style. Going Across the Mountain - lyrics Going across the mountain, Oh, fare thee well; Going across the mountain, You can hear my banjo tell. Got my rations on my back, My powder it is dry; I'm a-goin' across the mountain, Chrissie, don't you cry. Going across the mountain, To join the boys in blue; When this war is over, I'll come back to you. Going across the mountain, If I have to crawl, To give old Jeff's men A little of my rifle ball. Way before it's good daylight, If nothing happens to me, I'll be way down yander In old good ol Tennessee. I expect you'll miss me when I'm gone, But I'm going through; When this war is over, I'll come back to you. Going across the mountain, Oh, fare thee well; Going across the mountain, You can hear my banjo tell. Going across the mountain, Oh, fare thee well; Going across the mountain, You can hear my banjo tell. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28LYSbBoEeM

click 1:23 to skip intro Lost In Los Gatos written and performed by Dan D. Dirges When the day quickly turns to night and the road looks mighty rough ahead. And the leaves are falling all around and with winter coming round and my hearts nowhere to be found. Lord I`m lost, lost in Los Gatos tonight. Lord I`m lost, I`m so lonesome it hurts. Lord I`m lost, lost in Los Gatos Tonight. Lord I`m lost, With nowhere to turn. Well I wish I could make my way back home, into that great wide sky, where the flowers never die but I know tomorrows a brand new day so I`ll just stay right here and pray and ask the Lord to please come and take me away. Lord I`m lost, lost in Los Gatos tonight. Lord I`m lost, I`m so lonesome it hurts. Lord I`m lost, lost in Los Gatos Tonight. Lord I`m lost, With nowhere to turn. If the sun rises one last time and the grey skies above lift and roll away. Thats when I`ll be rolling on down the line, into he heart of winter time just a-tryin to find some peace of mind. Lord I`m lost, lost in Los Gatos tonight. Lord I`m lost, I`m so lonesome it hurts. Lord I`m lost, lost in Los Gatos Tonight. Lord I`m lost, With nowhere to turn. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpUQVf2tlQ0

My Old Kentucky Home is song written by Stephen Foster. I sing and play it on a mountain banjo, two finger thumb lead with no thumb pick! I usually use a thumb pick because it`s easier for me to play with one but I have always liked the sound of no picks at all much better, but it`s a totally different feel for me but I think It`s finally coming around a little. There are many different interpretations of the meaning of this song and Stephen Foster has wrongly and cruelly been labelled a racist by many in the old time music community however if you just read the lyrics it`s easy to see he has compassion and empathy for the people leaving the cabin home whether they`re slaves or a family or both. This song is also sung every year at the start of the Kentucky Derby horse race. My Old Kentucky Home lyrics Stephen Foster Banjo in relative standard G tuning but tuned down to low C. Oh, the sun shines bright On my old Kentucky home 'Tis summer, The old folks are gay Well, the corn top's ripe And the meadow's in the bloom While the birds make music All the day Weep no more, my lady Oh, weep no more, today We will sing one song For my old Kentucky home For my old Kentucky home Far away. Well, the young folks roll All around the cabin floor They're merry, all Happy and bright By 'n by hard times will A-come a-knockin' at my door Then my old Kentucky home Good night Weep no more, my lady No, weep no more, today We will sing one song For my old Kentucky home For my old Kentucky home Far away. They hunt no more for the possum and the coon, On meadow, the hill and the shore, They sing no more by the glimmer of the moon, On the bench by the old cabin door. The day goes by like a shadow o’er the heart, With sorrow, where all was delight, The time has come when we will have to part, Then my old Kentucky home, goodnight. Weep no more, my lady Oh, weep no more, today We will sing one song For my old Kentucky home For my old Kentucky home Far away. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZ9eUF0tkUs
