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

Mother's Old Serving Dish
Copyright by:  Verne Garrison
July 7, 2010, Valley Park Mo
Banjo tuned E, Capo 3, Key of C


     C                          F
That yellow serving dish of my mothers'
                              C
I remember it, more than any other
                                          G7
Filled with boiled, then fried taters so brown
                                                 C
Little democrats (soup beans), fried pork golden brown
   C                   F
We worked hard all day long
                          C
Then when we came in for supper
                   G7
Fried pork with potatoes
                            C
Beans cornbread and country butter

                            F
All those good home-cooked vittles
                   C
That stuck to your ribs
                   G7
Good old country eatin'
                         C
Wolfed-down by us growin' kids

                            F
I still have that old yellow dish
                                            C 
And use it to treat myself to cornbread and beans
                                        G7
I remember Mom's hurry to meet our every wish
                                                    C
And I can just see us all at the supper table in my dreams

             G7                        C
Tag:  Yeah, At the supper-table in my dreams
