"Boat's Up the River" Performance
Added 2020-09-16 16:30:26 +0000 UTC"I learned "Boat's Up the River" from a recording of Ola Belle Reed. My 1888 Luscomb Banjo is tuned one octave below gCGCD. I'm using nylon strings and a handmade maple bridge by Joel Hooks, available here: https://www.banjothimble.com/
Boat's up the river
Won't come down,
Tell by the way that she'd headed
Alabama bound!
She's Alabama bound, Lord
Alabama bound,
Tell by the way that she's headed
Alabama bound!
Ain't but the one thing
Bothers my mind,
It's my old Waterbury
She won't keep time!
She won't keep time, Lord
Won't keep time,
It's my old Waterbury
She won't keep time!
