Lake Fork Verne and his banjo. Original country and Americana songs. Songs of yesteryear, growing up during the great depression 1930's and the way things are
Just me and my banjo...writing and singing about how things used to be long ago in the 30;s and 40's and how those experiences affect today. I started out wanting to get on record these stories and songs for my grandchildren; but after doing it for a while, others have expresses interest so we are recording and putting them out there.

Lyrics
My Golden Hill Lyrics My Golden Hill by: Verne Garrison January 27, 2006; Valley Park, Mo. My Golden Hill (D) I can recall sitting on top of a wagon- load of ear corn (G) On a cool November (D) day. (A) After a heavy breakfast earlier that morn, Workin hard to earn my (D) pay. (D) Been going since four in the morning (G) Painted over-alls to shed the early (D) dew (A) Tossing golden ears of corn without (G) warning Doing what I was born to (D) do. (D) Half a mile corn rows, straight and (G) long (A) Nobody around but me and the (D) mules. (D) Shuckin ear after ear and singing my (G) song (A) Nobody bothering me, or making new (D) rules. (D) I am saying Im on top of my golden (G) hill, (A) Sitting here on my load of golden (D) corn (D) To view the rolling prairie-when all is so (G) still (A) I am thankful for this land, where I was (D) born.
