Mel and Shade were both balladeers and banjoists, as was James. Mel and Shade are both deceased. James moved to Indiana in the 1960s. After moving to Indiana he began to make and play fiddles. "I believe this is the first song I learned to play on the banjo. General D. Moore, a neighbor my age, showed me some of the notes to pick. General's father had made him a small fretless banjo and he was just beginning to play. His family later moved to Indiana, and General now lives in Texas. He recently told me he never continued with old time banjo, but instead became a bluegrass banjo player. People my age and older ca. 1950 who were interested in banjo began playing bluegrass. "Gran Hudson said his father, Steve Hudson, sang this song. Gran said his father always sang "I took it in a hell of a way," instead of "I took it in that morphine way," so I sometimes sing it this way. Also, James would intone in a speaking voice "Ain't that a scandal and a shame" after the line "And I didn't have one penny to my name." Banjo Bill Cornett from Hindman, Kentucky, sang a version of this song in which he used the line, "I didn't have a brownie to my name." "Many soldiers became addicted to morphine as a result of medication during the Civil War. For years thereafter it was a legal substance. I suspect this song originated, however, ca. 1900 when railroads were being built in the counties surrounding Knott." - George Gibson, Last Possum up the Tree. I took morphine last Saturday night, Lord I took it in that morphine way, If the Doctor hadn't come just as he did, Lord I'd a'been in my grave today. Well it's peaches honey, Rye, Rock and Rye, Oh baby let me tell you my dream, I dreamed last night had a pocket full of money, And a quarter in a big dice game. But when I awoke, it was only a joke, And I didn't have one penny to my name. I took morphine last Saturday night, Lord I took it a Hell of a way, If the Doctor hadn't come just as he did, Lord I'd a'been in my grave today. Well it's peaches honey, Rye, Rock and Rye, Oh baby I'll love you 'til the day I die.
