about

I recorded this one with the 1935 guitar as well -- a 1935 Cromwell, the one you see pictured, with 3 piezo transducers surface-mounted onto the body to go electric. 85-years-old. Built in the middle of the depression. It has a unique voice, to be sure.

lyrics

Johnny, did you hear, another oxen fell
Another oxen fell, oh well

They found him in the holler near Foothill Road,
Near Foothill Road -- I'm told

You came to the right place to hang your head
Right place to hang your head

Just what's going on, I surely don't know
I surely do don't

I'm just sayin' beware
Somethin's not right down there

Gather up the kin, we're all staying in
We're all staying in

Down there is not the place for the common folk
It's really no joke

Johnny don't do it, there's death in the air
There's death in the air -- steer clear

I know what you're doing and I just can't go
I just can't go -- hell no

I'm just sayin' I'm scared
Somethin's not right down there

about

J.W. Morris Denver, Colorado

Welcome to my BandCamp! If you're interested in me, I'm interested in you. I don't have a hometown, or a street I grew up on. I was born in Chicago, grew up throughout the Deep South, joined the Navy at seventeen, serving 2 stints, and have done a bit of drifting ever since. This is a collection of some of my self-produced, homespun, original music. Thanks for stopping by! ... more
