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.

Lyrics

Open The Fields
Copyright by: Verne Garrison, October 6, 2011
Valley Park, Mo
Banjo tuned E, Capo 3, Key of E

Chorus:
  E                        A
Open the cornfield with a wagon
             E
And Jack and Kate
                               B
Out before sunup before rooster crows
                       E
Before most people had ate

Hand shuckin' the end rows
So the one row picker could get in
Twist off those big ears,
Then do it again

Slippin' and slidin' on the thawed ground
Snappin' stocks on the turn around
Wagon boards creek, floppin' to and fro
Must get the field open so the picker can go

Chorus:
