GEORGIA ROW

Traditional, from the playing of Uncle Charlie Osborne

Verses learned from Rich Kirby, a friend of Uncle Charlie’s

I went up on the mountain to plant me a patch of cane

Stuck my head in a hollow log, out jumped Liza Jane

Walk up Georgia row boys, walk up Georgia row
Walk up Georgia row boys, it’s all the way I know

I went up on the mountain to give my horn a blow

Thought I heard my true love say, “Yonder comes my beau”
