John Barleycorn

I have loved this story for so many years . Mike Waterson of the Watersons dose my favorite version of this though I think I heard the Traffic version first . This is in dADAGAD tuning with the 6th string down at the same note as the first string (for timber) .I am playing a O T 6 gold tone 6 string banjo . It is amazing what an addition the fifth low string can be . I did flubb some words in the middle but enjoyed the banjo enough to publish this anyway . I wish I had Mike to sing it !!! All the best to all here . Guy

One of my favorites and it sure sounds great on that 6... I've been thinking of a gold tone resonator tenor guitar... I may have to just go for it.
