Verne Garrison (aka Lake Fork Verne)

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.

Best Crop That Grows
Copyright by:  Verne Garrison
August 27, 2008, Valley Park, MO

Banjo tuned E, play in D
Slow to Moderate tempo

Best Crop That Grows

Chorus:
    D          G    D
The best crop that grows
       A
Little Boys
   D                G      D
Their love for your always shows
       A
Little Boys,
   D      G    D
Best crop that grows

   D       G       D   
But they grow up in time
          A      D
No longer little boys
            G      D
And they move away sometime
           A      D
No longer little boys

               G           D
They grow a family of their own
           A     D
No longer little boys
          G            D
Make for their family a home
                  A      D              
And have little boys (of their own)

Chorus:
Best crop that grows
Little boys
Their love for you always shows
Little boys
Best crop that grows

Tag:
      D          G     D
Little boys, they grow up
                     A      D
And they are gone before you know

What a great lyric.....'Little boys, best crop that grows,' I love this line! It so neat you remember your Dad saying it to you!! Is the picture real family photos?

I also really like your main page color and layout that you have now. It's really crisp! I had never noticed before how you have sites marked on the map of the land. I enjoyed that. Sometimes authors will put a map in the book they write and I always find it helpful in putting the story together in my head. It would be the same with your music because all the lyrics tell a story of your life. 

Have a beautiful Autumn!! We are heading to the Smokies for the weekend. I hope to see some fall color to take some new pictures of but I'm afraid it's a bit early........even for the mountains.

Love,
Rosie

Hi verne, I love this song! You amaze me with your wonderful lyrics. I planted two good Sons but they still haven't sowed the fields just yet.
