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
Twenty four acres of Christmas trees had to be mowed each summer and all. It was a family affair.
Lyrics
Mother Was A Weed Sergeant Too Copyrighted by: Verne Garrison September 19, 2011, Valley Park Mo Banjo tuned E, Capo 2, Key of: D Chorus: D G D My mother was a weed sergeant too A She would mow most every summer day D G D An integral part of Dad's mowing crew A D Holding, smoking her cigarette all the way Flowery house dress, bandana on forehead On those hot, sultry summer days Quarter-mile rows dark green Christmas Trees Down one row, then back the other way G D Brown dust settled on her weathered, pretty face A Stopping only to gas up, and wipe away the sweat D G D Ah yes, my lovely, determined weed mowing mother A D I can see her lovely, smiling face yet. Chorus:
