I love this old song, so my idea is for everyone to post there favorite veruse the have heard for those unfamilra with the song it is a simple blues shuffle beat Chours F .............................................C Oh tell me how long, have I got to wait C........... G .................................C Oh can I get you now, or I must I hesitate If the river was whiskey, and the branch was wine You could see me bathing just any old time I was born in England, raised in France Bought a suit of clothes and they wouldn’t send the pants I was born in Georgia raised in Tennessee If you don’t like my peaches, don’t shake my tree
yep its a gooden, i like that its silly and basicly no wrong way to play it but, you forgot to leave a vurse! Two old laides where a sitten in the sand Each one was a wishing, the other was a man
[size=-1][/size]Well, i was born tomorrow, i died yesterday If you don't like how i do things then go the other way
I too love this song! a fave of mine for years, and we do it with some very different lyrics, more along the Jorma/Janis version.
my fav is the jerry garcia/david grisman version, bonus track on shady grove. the janis one is sweet too.
