No concrete walks around home place. We had flat wide boards from the sawmill put on the ground. Good place for worms to congregate under the warm moist dark site.

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.

Lyrics
Board Walks Around Home Place Copyright by: Verne Garrison Valley Park, Mo April 26, 2010 Banjo Tuned E, Capo 1, Key D D The old board walks around the home place, A I think of them often A A When time moved at a much slower pace D I think of it often During the warm days of Spring We'd turn the board walks over and find Squirmming, healthy earthworms a plenty For fishing, they were the best kind Yeah, we had wood board walks, We couldn't afford concrete All around the old home place And they kept us with dry feet Those flat boards on the ground They held the heat and moisture in Made those wiggly worms abound Put them in a can, and go fishing again The old board walks around the home place I think of them often When time moved at much slower pace Yeah, I think of that often
