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.

Verne's Original Banjo Songs Vol X
Banjo tuned E, Capo 1, Key of: A

   A         D
My dad's Uncle Roy
                           A
Was a shoemaker in Pulaski there
                E
He had a little shop
                        A
On the west side of the square

                    D
We would watch him at work
                          A
Thru the big window of the store
                          E
His long apron with shoulder straps
                          A
Shiny machines and leather galore

He would repair the uppers
And maybe put on new heels
And add rawhide boot strings
Pulley straps from overhead wheels

I remember that fresh-leather smell
As we entered the shop from time to time
To get back our boots or shoes
That cost us maybe one thin dime

Those were the days
In Dad's Uncle Roy's Shoe Shop
Shoes and boots were repaired
Dad's visit to Uncle Roy, meant a lot.
