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.

Lyrics

Valley Park, Mo 
Banjo tuned E, Key of D Capo 1
Moderate Tempo


D
Uncle Grover had a barber chair
E7                      A
In the basement at his place.
D               G           D
I dreaded for him to cut my hair
E7                                   A
His dull clippers put a grimace on my face


  D
He was a good barber,
                               A
And handled the scissors really well

Did his work quickly
                     D
And you could hardly tell


But when it came the time
                             A
For those dull hand operated clippers

It was all I could do
                          D
Grit my teeth, try not to yell

  D                G                D
Best part was when he got the razor out
                               A
Shaving mug with brush and the soap

Sharpen the razor on the strap
                                   D
Shave the back of your neck and side-burns

                 G                D
Remove the cover sheet from your back
                           A
Swirl it around and make it pop

Sprinkle cool Brilliantine on your hair
                                       D
Comb it, part it, and pat your head on top

          G            D
Then you knew, he was thru
                         A
And you could move about again

Run outside where the sky was blue
                              D
Away from those dull clippers again.

        E7             A             D
tag:  Those dog-gone clippers really hurt!
