Earle Rowe I love this album, there's something spellbinding and hauntig about each song and how the whole album just comes together. The percussion works great with the banjo and Hilary's voice ties it together. After playing other songs and albums I keep coming back to this one.

Barry Bradley I love the creativity and freshness they bring to Old Time songs. Hilary's banjo playing continues to draw me in everytime I listen, and I love the how the instrumentation and percussion fit so well together. Also, one track combines trombone with banjo....a perfect world! Favorite track: New River Train.

How many nickels does it take To see little lula’s body shake Shout little lula Sing and Shout What the heck are you shouting about Coffee in a pot Sugar in a bowl Daddy won’t eat without the jelly roll CHORUS I got a girl She eats her greens Shakes her leg And she shakes it mean CHORUS Shout, Little Lula, Shout your best
 Your old grandmother's gone to rest CHORUS

Who’s been here since I’ve been gone Pretty little girl with a red dress on Roast beef chicken and a biscuit too I’m so happy I don’t know what to do CHORUS I’m getting happy don’t you know Come along buddy don’t want to go Crank your ford and hold your baby Whiskey scarce and I don’t mean maybe I have trusted to my sorrow Pay today and credit tomorrow Here’s to booze and Choctaw cider (take me home in an old Budweiser)-hilary Lemon bitters and an oxtail tonic The good book says its good for the stomach There is something that I know Never go to heaven on a barroom floor There is something that I know Devil will slide you right through the door There is something sure enough Never go to heaven with a little filled cup There is something sure enough Never go to heaven with another man’s wife

I fall on my knees, and I pray to thee
 To come and stand by me, little girl
 Stand by me Look up, look down, that old lonesome road
 Hang your head and cry little girl I wish to the Lord that I had never been born
 Or died when I was young, little girl
 Died when I was young
 I never would have kissed your ruby red lips Or heard your lying tongue
little girl Or heard your lying tongue
 You’ve told me more lies than the stars in the skies
 And you’ll never get to heaven when you die, little girl
 You’ll never get to heaven when you die
 My suitcase is packed and my trunk key done gone
 It’s goodbye little woman I’m gone
 Goodbye little woman I’m gone You told me once, you told me twice you told me ten thousand times, little girl told me ten thousand times. I fall on my knees, and I pray to thee
 To come and stand by me, little girl
 Stand by me

My old hen’s A good old hen She lays eggs for the railroad men Sometimes one, Sometimes two, That’s enough for the railroad crew Cluck old hen, cluck and sing Ain’t laid an egg since late last spring Cluck old hen, cluck and squall Ain’t laid an egg since late last fall My old hen’s got a wooden leg Best old hen to ever lay an egg Cluck old hen, cluck in the lot Next time she cackles she cackles on the pot

Undone in Sorrow Over yonder in the graveyard Where the wild, wild flowers grow Oh there they laid, my own true lover, He’s gone from me, forever more Fairer than, the sweetest flower Restless as, the wildest wind Pored in with love deep as a ocean This is was one that I did win I left him there, back in the mountain To see the world, riches to gain Oh, when I returned, no earthly treasure Could ease this heart so full of pain Air so high, above the mountain But, beneath that little mound of clay Oh the one that I, returned to marry So stand a mound of flowers did lay I'll go away and I will wander Lay aside my earthly gains And I’ll not end, someone with riches Undone in sorrow I'll remain (x2)

Oh my, Little Orchid You are dieing in the sun Oh my, I have left you It’s a shame for what I’ve done CHORUS Little Orchid, Turn my head you little one Little Orchid, All that’s left will be undone Little Orchid, I have left you in the sun And your dying day will come Oh my, Little Orchid Oh look what I have done I can bring the rain And all the damage done Simple Little beauty You’re a flag, you’re a sail But if I would’ve helped This little coffin’d have no nail

Katie Cruel 03:07
When I first came to town They call me the roving jewel Now they've change their tune They call me Katie Cruel Chorus If I was where I would be, Then I’d be where I am not, Here I am where I must be Where I would be, I am not Through the woods I’m going And through the boggy mire Straight way down the road Till I come to my heart's desire Chorus When I first came to town They brought me drinks a plenty Now they've changed their tune They hand me the bottles empty

Little Birdie Little birdie Why do you fly so high? It’s because I, am a true little bird And I do not wish to die Little Birdie Little birdie Why are your wings so blue It’s because I, am a grievin’ I’m a grieving after you! Little birdie Little birdie Come and sing to me your song Got a short time, to stay here And a long time to be gone

Lonely Ghost 02:35
I’m just lonely Sitting by the river I just lost my hat. If I wait a little bit longer It just might come back. Come back! Come back! Come back! It just might come back. A lonely ghost with a head that’s cold Saw an opportunity. But everytime he slips and falls That lonely ghost is me Come back! Come back! Come back! That lonely ghost is me! If you ain’t got a receiver I know why you can’t call But it’s been too long my friend I ain’t heard from you at all! Come back! Come back! Come back! I ain’t heard from you at all! Come back! Come back! Come back! That lonely ghost is me!
