Hiram Hubbard (traditional folk Song)
Hiram Hubbard is a traditional folk ballad which tells the sad story of how Hiram Hubbard was accused, prosecuted and ultimately executed for a crime he allegedly did not commit. This song is traditionally played on the Banjo. I haven't been able to figure out how to play it very well on banjo so I tried out this experimental fingerpicking guitar version. I`ll upload without notifying my subscribers because I`m not very confident in my performance.
Hiram Hubbard - lyrics
Come gather round me children and a story I will tell
Come gather round me children and a story I will tell
Concerning poor Hiram Hubbard, and how he came and fell
While traveling through this country in sorrow and distress
While traveling through this country in sorrow and distress
The rebels overhauled him, and in chains they bound him fast
They whopped him up the mountain and they whopped him up the hill
They whopped him up the mountain and they whopped him up the hill
To that place of execution where he begged to write his will
Farewell kind friends and neighbors, likewise my wife and child
Farewell kind friends and neighbors, likewise my wife and child
I never hurt nobody, but now I'm bound to die
Well they bound the chains around him and they tied him to a tree
Well they bound the chains around him and they tied him to a tree
Eleven balls went through him and then he sank away
Hiram Hubbard was not guilty, I've heard great many say
Hiram Hubbard was not guilty, I've heard great many say
He was not in this country, he was ninety miles away

Cumberland Gap (Traditional) banjo
Cumberland Gap - Traditional - lyrics
performed by Dan D. Dirges
Me and my wife and my wife's pap,
We're all going down to Cumberland Gap
Lay down boys and take a little nap,
Fourteen miles to Cumberland Gap.
Cumberland Gap, Cumberland Gap.
Way down yonder in Cumberland Gap.
Old aunt Dinah, if you don't care
I'll leave my liquor jug sittin' right there
if it's not there when I get back
I'll raise hell in the Cumberland Gap
Cumberland Gap, Cumberland Gap.
Way down yonder in Cumberland Gap.
Cumberland Gap with its cliffs and rocks
Home of the panther, bear and fox.
Cumberland Gap is a mighty fine place,
Three kinds of water to wash your face.
Cumberland Gap, Cumberland Gap.
Way down yonder in Cumberland Gap.
Ole Dan`l Boone on Pinnacle Rock,
Killed many Injuns with his old flintlock.
The first white man in the Cumberland Gap
Was ole doc Walker, an English Chap.
Cumberland Gap, Cumberland Gap.
Way down yonder in Cumberland Gap.
Cumberland Gap, Cumberland Gap.
Way down yonder in Cumberland Gap.

BONNI
bonnie-george-cambell-(child-ballad-210)
Bonnie George Cambell I believe is a Scottish ballad written in the 1500`s. Its listed as Francis James Child Ballad 210 and Roud 338. It tells of a Soldier going off to battle up in the Highlands. The Horse makes it back ok but Bonnie George Cambell never does.
Bonnie George Campbell - lyrics
Chord Progression - GCGCGAm7D//GBmEmC//EMGDEm//CGDG
High upon highlands and low upon tay.
Bonnie George Campbell went out on a day.
Saddled and bridled, so Gallant rode he.
Home came his good horse, but never came he.
Home came his good horse, but never came he.
Saddled, and bridled, and booted rode he.
With a plume in his helmet and a sword by his knee.
Home came the saddle, all bloody to see.
Home came his good horse, but never came he.
Home came his good horse, but never came he.
Down came his mother, with her heart full of care.
And down came his lovely bride, tearing her hair.
The meadow lies green, and the corn is unshorn.
The house is unfinished, and the baby's unborn.
The house is unfinished, and the baby's unborn.
High upon highlands and low upon tay.
Bonnie George Campbell went out on a day.
Saddled and bridled, so gallant rode he.
Home came his good horse, but never came he.
Home came his good horse, but never came he.

THE T
the-tyger-(william-blake-poem)-original
The Tyger is a poem written by William Blake. I came up with the music and guitar part for it. I have an older version posted but I wanted to try to do it a little better. Not sure I succeeded but oh well.
The Tyger - William Blake Poem
By William Blake 1757–1827
Tyger Tyger, burning bright,
In the forests of the night;
What immortal hand or eye,
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies.
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand, dare seize the fire?
And what shoulder, & what art,
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand? & what dread feet?
What the hammer? what the chain,
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? what dread grasp,
Dare its deadly terrors clasp!
When the stars threw down their spears
And water'd heaven with their tears:
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the Lamb make thee?
Tyger Tyger burning bright,
In the forests of the night:
What immortal hand or eye,
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry?

I DON
i-don-t-mind-the-rain-original
On orders from the governor, I`ve been hiding underneath the covers from the big bad invisible (with the naked eye) coroner virus, He said it may kill me or kill somebody else if I dared come out too soon. So I dared take the chance to post this song I wrote in the 19 and 90`s anyway before going back to hide in the closet. Thanks everybody and remember - Everything is invisible unless you have a powerful enough microscope.
I Don`t Mind The Rain - lyrics
I dont know why, the sun refuses to shine.
And I dont know why, we all have to die.
Were falling and falling one by one,
Back into the black.
With trouble at every turn,
Clouds fill up the sky.
So I dont mind rain, falling down, on me.
No I, I dont mind the rain.
Let it fall right down on me.
I wonder as I wander, I`m all alone again.
Lord wont you take me in,
from the rain and the wind.
Turning and turning the earth keeps turning,
Forever on it goes.
After one season of sorrow, hope will rise again.
So I dont mind rain, falling down, on me.
No I, I dont mind the rain.
Let it fall right down on me.

WHITE
white-crow-(ddd)
I thought maybe you might want to hear a fingerpicking version of my song, White Crow. I wrote this for my neighbor who passed away a couple years ago. He would often feed the Crows so I called him White Crow. He was around 85 at the time of his passing from alzheimers.
White Crow
written and performed by
Dan D. Dirges
White Crow dancing circles in the sky.
White Crow sending signals from on high.
Down upon his earthly home.
Where he lived, but no more.
White Crow knows we all gotta die.
White Crow knows its gonna be alright.
Be sure to tend to his flock.
The Black Crow, they know.
Mountains still stand. The Rivers still run.
The Earth keeps on spinning round the sun.
One life travels on. Another has begun.
Thats the way its always been and always was.
Always been. Always was.
When you hear the calling of the Crow.
Then you`ll know its time to go.
Feed em and they`ll always come around.
Their in the trees. So free.
White Crow`s gonna have to journey on.
Far from this world and be gone.
We all know we all gotta die.
But its alright. Its alright.
Mountains still stand. The Rivers still run.
The Earth keeps on spinning round the sun.
One life travels on. Another has begun.
Thats the way its always been and always was.
Always been. Always was.

POOR
poor-ellen-smith-murder-ballad-folk-song
Poor Ellen Smith Traditional folk song. Murder Ballad and Love Song all in one.
Clawhammer Mountain Banjo Version
Arranged and performed by, Dan D. Dirges
Poor Ellen Smith - Lyrics
Banjo in standard tuning only tuned down to the key of D
Poor Ellen Smith how she was found
Shot through the heart lying cold on the ground
Her clothes were all scattered and thrown on the ground
And blood marks the spot where poor Ellen was found
They loaded up their rifles and hunted me down
And found me a-loafin all around the town
They picked up her body and carried it away
And now she is sleeping in some lonesome old grave
I got a letter yesterday and read it today
The flowers on her grave have all faded away
Some day I'll go home and stay when I go
On poor Ellen's grave pretty flowers I'll sow
I've been in this prison for twenty long years
Each night I see Ellen through my bitter tears
The warden just told me that soon I'll be free
To go to her grave near that old willow tree
My days in this prison are ending at last
But I'll never be free from the sins of my past
Poor Ellen Smith how she was found
Shot through the heart lying cold on the ground

We Three Kings Of Orient Are Lyrics
performed by, Dan D. Dirges
Guitar Fingerpicking and Vocal
We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we travel afar.
Fields and fountain, moor and mountain,
Following yonder star.
O star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect Light.
Born a babe on Bethlehem's plain,
Gold I bring to crown Him again;
King forever, ceasing never,
Over us all to reign.
O star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect Light.
Frankincense to offer have I;
Incense owns a Deity nigh;
Prayer and praising all men raising,
Worship Him, God on high.
O star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect Light.
Myrrh is mine: it's bitter perfume
Breaths a life of gathering gloom.
Sorrowing, sighing, bleeding dying,
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb.
O star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect Light.
Glorious now behold Him arise,
King and God and Sacrifice.
Alleluia, alleluia!
Sounds through the earth and skies.
O star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect Light

HIRAM
hiram-hubbard-folk-song-mountain-banjo
Hiram Hubbard is a traditional folk song of the land. It tells of the tragic story of how Hiram Hubbard was executed for a crime great many say he did not commit. Many artists have performed this song like, Ewan MacColl, Peggy Seeger and Bob Dylan. I`m more partial to the Jake Book version. If you like this at all you will love the way he sings and play this song.
I sing and play it on the mountain banjo clawhammer style
Hiram Hubbard - lyrics
Come gather round me children and a story I will tell
