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
I'll Work Till the School-bus Goes Copyright by: Verne Garrison May 25, 2010 Valley Park, Mo Banjo tuned E, Capo 2, Key E Chorus: E A I'll work till the school bus goes, E That's what he always said B And would begin to put away his tools and throes E Sickle, wore-down butcher knife, and his shiny hoe Dad would start a little after daylight Wearing his Pay Day bib overalls And his grey and blue railroad engineers cap Worked quietly to the sound of bob white calls He'd cut and pull weeds, all day long Moving at his steady pace You could barely hear his working song Faintly, "...but he ran a good race" Dad could pace himself, rarely showing a sweat Not a weed got past his steele-blue eyes A lot was on his mind, you could tell At days-end, he would sit a little, looking at the skies Chorus:
