"False Hearted Lover's Blues" by Dock Boggs
Banjo Heritage 👉 Patreon.com/CliftonHicks
I learned "False Hearted Lover's Blues" from a 1927 recording of Moran Lee "Dock" Boggs. The melody is borrowed from the earlier ballad, "Hustling Gamblers," also known as "Country Blues." Other notable recordings have been contributed by Ralph Stanley, Levon Helm, Riley Baugus, and Hank III.
False hearts have been my downfall
Pretty women have been my craze,
I'm sure my false-hearted lover
Will lay me in my lonesome grave.
They'll bite the hand that feeds them
Spend all the money you can save,
From your heart strings weave silk garters
Build a dog house on your grave.
Ragged clothes falling from my body
The wolves howling 'round my door,
Let the man who love...

      A good set on the right banjo will go years without breaking. Start sounding like crap after a couple months. I have strings on banjos that are a year or two old. They'll sound much better when I replace the strings.

    G'day from Melbourne Australia. Finally put some Aquila reds on my Bryden. Had to keep the 5th steel as couldn't get it up to G without it breaking. Sounds far more like I wanted. Thanks for sharing those strings on an old video. It's only a cheap banjo but now it's sounding so much better.

    Regarding the argument over the origins of the banjo, the blues, and blue grass; come on everyone. Were the African’s playing the blues in Africa? No. Were they influenced by the music they were subjected to? Yes. Did they construct something freakin otherworldly amazing out of this? YES!!! Was all of rock and roll stolen from them? No. Did they not receive early credit for their contribution? A huge yes. This old raging argument makes me horribly sad.

  • @randycushman1669
    @randycushman1669 3 дня назад

    There shouldn’t be an argument over this. The banjo, and blue grass is a shared experience. Started under rough circumstances to be sure but mutually evolved non the less. This all needs to settle down.
