Sourwood Mountain / Story and Song / Banjo
Sourwood Mountain is timeless classic traditional Appalachian folk song universally beloved. In this video I tell a story in the intro and then sing and play the song clawhammer style on the banjo. Last song of the Summer north of the equator.

Pick out melody while singing
Chickens a-crowin' on Sourwood Mountain,
Hey, ho, diddle-um day.
So many pretty girls I can't count 'em,
Hey ho, diddle-um day.
chickens crownin on sourwood mountain
so many pretty girls I cant count em
I like living on sourwood mountain
Hey, ho, diddle-um day.
My true love's a blue-eyed daisy,
Hey, ho, diddle-um day.
If I cant have her, I'll go crazy.
Hey, ho, diddle-um day.
My true love's a blue-eyed daisy,
If I cant have her, I'll go crazy.
I like living on sourwood mountain
Hey, ho, diddle-um day.
Big dog bark and little one bite you,
Hey, ho, diddle-um day.
Big girl court and little one spite you.
Hey, ho, diddle-um day.
Big dog bark and little one bite you,
Big girl court and little one spite you.
I like living on sourwood mountain
Hey, ho, diddle-um day.
Ducks a swimming up the river.
Hey, ho, diddle-um day.
and in the winter time we sure shiver.
Hey, ho, diddle-um day.
Ducks a swimming up the river.
and in the winter time we sure shiver.
I like living on sourwood mountain
Hey, ho, diddle-um day.
My true love lives at the head of the holler,
Hey, ho, diddle-um day.
She won't come and I won't foller.
Hey, ho, diddle-um day.
My true love lives at the head of the holler,
She won't come and I won't foller.
I like living on sourwood mountain
Hey, ho, diddle-um day.
Chickens a-crowin' on Sourwood Mountain,
hey, ho, diddle-um day.
So many pretty girls I can't count 'em,
Hey ho, diddle-um day.
Chickens a-crowin' on Sourwood Mountain,
So many pretty girls I can't count 'em
I like living on sourwood mountain
hey, ho, diddle-um day.
