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.

Story behind the song
When I was nine or ten years old, I had a problem getting to my fishing hole. The pasture I used to get to the creek was guarded by a mean ol-sheep ram....so the story.
Lyrics
That Black-Faced Ram Copyrighted by: Verne Garrison, April 13, 2012 Valley Park, Mo Banjo Tuned Eb, No Capo , Key of:D D G D There was that black-faced ram, A Used to roam Grandpa's Place D G D It was His pasture, and His dam A D His hard head,it kept me in my place But I needed to cut thru that pasture To get to my favorite fishing spot So I'd wait till he was far enuf from the fence And dash to the creek, I did this a lot D G Now that ram and me D We didn't get along A D Once he butted me, knocked me to my knees A D Since then, I had made him sing my song He'd hide behind the big white oak tree Waiting for me to once again, test my fate In a while, he'd forget about me I'd run and barely beat him to the gate. By and by, he got used to me And I could walk to my fishing spot But it was still his pasture And I still haven't forgot tag: And I still haven't forgot
