"Bound to Ride" Performance
Added 2021-06-18 15:30:01 +0000 UTCfB♭FB♭C actual (gCGCD relative). I learned this song from Josh Hayes of Watauga County, North Carolina. Josh probably learned it from recordings of Carter and Ralph Stanley. In this video, I demonstrate how I play my version of the song using traditional up-stroke (up-picking), overhand (clawhammer), and two-finger (thumb-lead) styles.
Coming up from Tennessee riding on the blind
Thinking about that woman I could hardly keep from crying,
Honey babe I'm bound to ride (x2) Don't you want to go?
Working on the railroad sleeping on the ground
Eating soda crackers, honey, ten cent a pound...
Riding down to Atlanta going to take a look around
If things don't suit me guess I'll try another town...
