Big Sciota --Traditional Folk Song - Clawhammer Banjo
Big Sciota, sometimes known as Big Scioty, started out as a fiddle tune then worked it`s way over to the banjo and then someone put lyrics to it. Tells about the hard times a broken hearted fellow is going through as he wrestles with his inner demons along the Sciota River where is he was born and raised in Ohio. I sing and play it clawhammer style on the mountain banjo.
Big Sciota - Inspired by the ClawhammerBrainjo 3 finger old time version

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.

LITTL
little-bird-on-my-window-(traditional)
Little Bird On My Window I believe is an old traditional Irish folk lullaby song. I learned the song from a fellow youtuber, Dany Rosevear whom I admire very much.
Little bird on my window - Irish Lullaby - lyrics
GUITAR 3/4 TIME FINGERPICKING PATTERNS - T I M I R I (or) T I MR I MR I
Little bird on my window,
Won’t you sing me a song?
As you fly over meadows
Won’t you bring me along?
LA LA LA
There are beautiful flowers
To be seen from up high,
Won’t you please take me with you,
Little bird as you fly.
LA LA LA
Little bird on my window
May your song never end,
I will tell you a secret,
You're my very best friend.

SUGAR
sugar-hill-old-time-banjo-song
Sugar Hill is an old time banjo folk song. Fun to sing and play on the mountain banjo.
Sugar Hill - lyrics
Clawhammer Banjo
If you want to get your fill,
If you want to get your eye knocked out,
Climb on Sugar Hill.
Jay bird on the mountain top
Red bird on the ground
Black crow up a sugar tree
Shake that sugar down
Possum sitting on a rail fence
Staring at the sun;
Hound dog coming down the road,
Possum better run.
Got two dimes in my jeans
Can`t you hear it jingle
I'm going to chase them pretty gals
As long as I stay single
Peaches in the summertime
Apples in the fall
If I can`t have the one I want
I don`t want no one at all
Get your banjo off the wall,
Grab your fiddle, Bill;
Hitch the horses to the sleigh,
We're going to Sugar Hill.
If you want to get your eye knocked out,
If you want to get your fill,
If you want to get your eye knocked out,
Climb on Sugar Hill.

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.

ANNA
anna-feher-(traditional-folk-song)-banjo
Anna Feher is a very old traditional folk ballad. Not sure why this song is not very well known. Its one of my favorites. Derroll Adams is the only other person I`ve heard play it. The banjo is in minor tuning.
Anna Feher - traditional - lyrics
banjo - GDGA# D
Guitar- DADFAD
performed by Dan D. Dirges
Anna Feher (Traditional)
Laszlo Thea stole a stallion, stole it from the Misty Mountains
And they followed and they've caught him, and in iron chains they've bound him
Word was brought to Anna Feher, that her brother lay in prison
Bring me gold and six white horses, I will buy my brother's freedom
Judge, oh judge, please spare my brother, I will give you gold and silver,
I don't want your gold and silver, all I want are your sweet favors.
Anna Feher, hold, my sister, are you mad with grief and sorrow?
He will rob you of your flower, and he'll hang me from the gallows.
Anna Feher did not heed him, to that judge she came a-running,
In his golden bed at midnight, there she heard the gallows groaning
Cursed be that judge so cruel, thirteen years may he lie bleeding
Thirteen shelves of drugs can't heal him. Thirteen doctors never can save him
Anna Feher, Anna Feher, do not go into the forest
There among the green pines standing, There you`ll find your brother hanging.

ROVIN
roving-gambler-traditional-folk-song
The Roving Gambler is a traditional folk song. This time I play it on the banjo using the clawhammer or overhand technique. The commentary ran on long. You can skip that if you want. 1:52
Roving Gambler - lyrics
performed by Dan D. Dirges
Clawhammer Banjo
Banjo in standard tuning, relative
I am a roving gambler, I've gambled all around
Wherever I meet with a deck of cards I lay my money down
Lay my money down, lay my money down
I've gambled down in Washington; I've gambled down in Spain
I'm goin' down in Georgia to gamble my last game
Gamble my last game, gamble my last game
I had not been in Washington, many more weeks than three
'Til I fell in love with a pretty little girl, she fell in love with me
Fell in love with me, fell in love with me
She took me in her parlour, she cooled me with her fan
She whispered low in her momma's ear, "I love that gambling man
Love that gamblin' man, love that gamblin' man"
"Daughter, oh dear daughter, how can you treat me so?
To leave your dear old mother, and with a gambler go?
With a gambler go, with a gambler go?"
"Mother, oh dear mother, you know I love you well
But the love I have for the gambling man, no human tongue can tell
No human tongue can tell, no human tongue can tell
"I would not marry a farmer,
he's always in the rain
Id rather have that gambling man
with a good ol watch and chain 3x
"I would not marry a railroad man,
I'll tell you the reason why
I never knew a railroad man
wouldn't tell his wife a lie." 3x
I hear that train a-coming, it's a-coming 'round the bend
Its bringing back my gambling man, my love will never end.
I am a roving gambler, I've gambled all around
Wherever I meet with a deck of cards I lay my money down
Lay my money down, lay my money down

Shine Your Light
Written and performed by
Dan D. Dirges
maybe I`ll find a way, one fine day.
there`s a place for me, just wait and see.
no more dark days alone, i`ll walk in faith
along lifes road. sun will shine, i`ll live
and grow.
shine your light
shine your light.
what waits down the road, I dont know.
I feel the weight lift off of me,
just like the breeze.
all my blues fade away, there will come
a sunny day. got no dues or bills to pay,
shine your light, shine your light.
sun`s going down, going down
but theres a fire that warm the soul,
when your feeling low.
dreams are born in the night, among
the stars up in the sky. i`ll chase them
all before I die. shine your light,
shine your light.
dreams are born in the night. among
the stars up in the sky. go and chase them
all before you die and shine your light,
shine your light.

900 M
900-miles-traditional-folk-song-banjo-2
900 Miles is a traditional folk. Also known as, 900 Miles From My Home. I sing and play it on the banjo in the clawhammer style after the intro.
900 Miles - Lyrics
Banjo tuning - dADFsharpA
Hold down Em chord
I’m walking down the track, I’ve got tears in my eyes,
I’m tryin’ to read a letter from my home;
If that train runs me right, I’ll be home tomorrow night,
‘Cause I’m nine hundred miles from my home.
And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow,
That long lonesome train whistlin’ down.
Well this train I ride on, Is a hundred coaches long,
You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles;
And if this train runs me right, I’ll be home tomorrow night,
‘Cause I’m nine hundred miles from my home.
And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow,
I will pawn you my wagon, I will pawn you my team,
I will pawn you my golden watch and my chain;
And if this train runs me right, I’ll see my woman tomorrow night,
‘Cause I’m nine hundred miles from my home.
And I hate to hear that lonesome whistle blow.
