"Jay Gould's Daughter" Lesson

f♯DF♯AD - I learned this song from George Gibson of Knott County, Kentucky. In this tutorial I explain the history behind the song, and how the tune is played using traditional overhand (clawhammer) and two-finger banjo picking techniques.

Jay Gould's daughter said before she died 

Daddy O Daddy don't let the bums ride, 

If ride they must let them ride on the rod 

They can put their lives in the hands of God...  


Early one morning it began to rain 

Around the corner came a passenger train, 

Sitting on the bumper was Hobo John 

He's a good old rounder but he's dead and gone...  


Jay Gould's daughter said before she died 

There's two more roads that I'd like to ride, 

Tell me daughter what can they be? 

The Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe...  


Jay Gould's daughter said before she died 

There's two more drinks that I'd like to try, 

Tell me daughter what can they be? 

Hot cup of coffee and a cold glass of tea...
