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
Dad fought this 80 acres of old timberground, clay, rocks and blowing sand. Mt Sad was his name for it. It was tough to farm and get a decent crop.
Lyrics
Mt Sad Blues (C) by: Verne Garrison July 15, 2008-Valley Park, Mo. Banjo tuned to E(5th string G#) Played in Key of D Moderate tempo For some reason chords in wrong place. In general after the first line, the chord should be over the last word in the line, not on left side as shown..v.g. Mt. Sad Blues by: Lake Fork Verne E A Rooster crowing on the fence (A)row E I hope he has some pretty good (E) news B7 He is telling us everything he (B7) knows E And I got the old Mt Sad (E) Blues A Hes saying that he hasnt been fed E I guess he didnt get the news B7 Dont care if he is a Rhode Island Red E Cause I got the old Mt Sad Blues A Old Mt Sad, its a tough piece of land E Does its best to beat a man down B7 Slippery clay when wet, dry-- its blowing sand E Mt Sad Blues, they just keep comin around A Just when you think you have it whipped E It will fool you, get you stuck in a draw B7 Stalk you, waiting for you to slip E Oh Mt Sad Blues, same old saw A Yeah, just when you think you know it all E It will prod you and spit in your eye B7 Doing your best, hopin for a crop in the fall E The Mt Sad Blues, Ill have em till I die Chorus: E A Cant shake those Mt Sad Blues E No matter how many times I pay my dues B7 Im going down, down, down E With the old Mt Sad Blues
