Artist picture
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
My visit while I can "still fog a mirror"
Lyrics
We Always Come Back Banjo tuned to E--song in Key of D; slow to moderate tempo © By: Verne Garrison; June 24, 2005-Valley Park, Mo Tab by: bluerabbit10 (D) Standing here at Lake Bank, on Cemetery Hill Trying to get into the right frame of (A) mind. The wind blows hard, yet it is soft and still And I’m still looking for short-cuts I could not (D) find (D) Look two miles east, that’s where I was born Look a mile south, that where I went to (A)school To the west is Salt Creek, land of yellow corn Finally north, where I left this land like a (D) fool (D) I remember when I was young and free Had no problems, was just killing (A) time. When one day that old man told me That it was time that was killing (D) me. (D)Now sixty years later, I stand here by my marker Doubting the quality of my much touted (A) dash I admit that I could have worked harder Then my life’s story rushes by in a (D) flash (D) Now the sun’s going down cross Salt Creek on the west My stone-marker’s shadow makes a long, long (A) cast The number one son, has come home....to rest Home, finally back home....at (D) last.

Hey Verne, I really like your new song. A country cemetary can be a very peaceful place. Your boyhood home sounds similar to mine back in Iowa. Unfortunately the cemetary where my Grandparents lie has been surrounded by development. (Near a Mall) I'm sorry to here your Son is resting there. That has to be hard for you and your family. Take care Verne. And keep picking that banjo. You sound great!
