I've spent days listening on repeat to every version I can find & I've decided I was right all along - yours is the best & I'll fight anyone who says otherwise. Hope you can come down to Australia one day
@@hustonwestbanjo @crixtail8 is right! this is hands down the best version. sung right from the heart. 1. are you okay brother, I can tell you're hurtin out there 2. on a lighter note - hook a brotha up with some tunings and maybe a tab
@Zamorack13 lmfao get your dumbass to Appalachia and you'll see this is what we look like now. My family has been here for hundreds of years and you can shut your useless mouth. If I met you face to face I'd shut it forever.
I've listened to this probably 12 times tonight. It makes me want a banjo instead of a mandolin. This is probably also the best vocal rendition I've heard. Damn dude.
You sir, are amazing, my drive home was 10 times less difficult than usual after hearing this. I actually stopped to see what the song was, that's how good it is. Keep up the good work man!
Very true to the original with a bit more up beat tempo and banjo articulation. Nice job on the vocals too. Ola Belle played it slower and more sorrowful. You did a fine job and I have to agree with others that it is my favorite rendition also. She tried to teach me claw hammer style once but I was surprised that I found it difficult. That was around 1970 in her living room. I might have tried harder but I was learning guitar and was into Rock & Roll. She got me started by teaching me my first 3 chords - G, C, & D. 😂
I've listened to this literally every day since i found it s couple months back. I love the original Ola Belle version but man... this is even better, honestly. Just wanted to thank you and tell you that you're a beautiful human.
Lyrics for anyone wanting to sing along with his amazing version of this song... Over yonder in the graveyard Where the wild, wild flowers grow There they laid my own true lover She's gone from me, forever more Fairer than the sweetest flower Restless as the wildest way Born with a love deep as a ocean This was the girl that I did win I left her there back in the mountain To see the world riches to gain Oh when I returned no earthy treasure Could ease this heart so filled with pain There so high upon the mountain Beneath that little mound of clay The girl that I returned to marry So still among the flowers did lay I'll go away and I will wander Lay aside my earthy gain All I am undone in riches Undone in sorrow I'll remain Undone in sorrow I'll remain "Undone In Sorrow"
Hello fellow West, we are related man. Our West family line descends from British royalty, and the West's founded the first plantation in America, the West and Sherely Hundred or Shirley Plantation. Great banjo playing, I have started learning a few weeks ago.
I found this video a month or so ago and I loved it immediately- always coming back to it haha. I already listened to Ola Belle Reed's songs and this is among my favorites but this cover gave me an itch. Today I scratched that itch- I bought my first banjo! I have already tried to have a crack at this song and all I can say is that it makes me appreciate your playing even more- it's a whole lot different to the Mandolin I play! I hope one day with enough practice I can play this song- you're a great inspiration and great musician!! Thankyou Huston
hell yeah!! I’m so happy this song had such a wonderful impact on you! That’s how I felt when I heard Riley Baugus’s version and I had to learn it! Pick on my friend!
@@hustonwestbanjo Oh wow, I'll have to check him out! Since I commented, I've managed to learn Little Sadie, working on Undone in Sorrow now- Many thanks to you once again, you pick on too friend!
Mate you seem to be getting a bit of love from Australia, well here is another aussie thats blown away by this gonna go try learn it on my banjo now!! Loved your other videos just got yourself a sub
I can see pain in his face. He thinks of someone when he sings this and I can feel it
"no earthly treasure, could ease this heart, so full of pain"
Hands down, this is the best version of this song.
This is one of the best renditions of this song I've seen, your voice compliments the banjo well and I like your percussive fingerpicking style
Thank you!!
It really is. It's distinctly original ... Considering it's a cover 🤭. Seriously tho!
very much agree sounds perfect ❤️
I've spent days listening on repeat to every version I can find & I've decided I was right all along - yours is the best & I'll fight anyone who says otherwise. Hope you can come down to Australia one day
Shucks, thank you!
@@hustonwestbanjo @crixtail8 is right! this is hands down the best version. sung right from the heart.
1. are you okay brother, I can tell you're hurtin out there
2. on a lighter note - hook a brotha up with some tunings and maybe a tab
Thenk you. The tab and tuning is from googling the Riley Baugus version of this song.
Really lovely! I love the connection between Appalachian folk and traditional Irish songs. It reminds me of songs I’d hear in Oranmore as a child
Mate, your voice and plucking style, it just goes hand in hand.. keep up the good work!
Love it! Jealous of how effortlessly you drop thumb! My brain always turns off for about a second or two whenever I try.
This needs to be added to Spotify. ASAP. It’s the best version I’ve heard.
Thank you!
@@hustonwestbanjo NP man gotta give credit where it’s due.
Great version . Up there with Riley’s version .
Can't stop listening to this
11/10 extra point for the nose ring
*minus a point

Excellent phrasing, meter is solid, voice is full of feeling, playing is heartfelt. An excellent performance.
Honestly my favorite rendition of this classic
I have to agree ✨
This song singlehandedly made me go rent a banjo. Such a beautiful voice & pickin
❤❤❤
You have a glorious voice and talent mate.
I've listened to this probably 12 times tonight. It makes me want a banjo instead of a mandolin. This is probably also the best vocal rendition I've heard. Damn dude.
🙏🙏🙏

Aww thanks so much!!
Absolutely unparalleled. I hope I never forget this.
Beautiful and sorrowful. You are an inspiration!
Sounds great and your singing voice suits your banjo playing perfectly
love this version so much
That banjo playing is tight! Fantastic rendition
Thank you!!
I've been coming back to this video over the last 6 months or so, and I gotta say that this rendition moves me brother. Keep it up!
Loving that banjo sound you have.
There is so much emotion in your performance, it has me moved to tears! Keep it up!
You absolutely killed this Huston, can't wait to dive into your uploads. Beautiful stuff man, seriously!
Sounds great 🪕
Man, this is just great. Wonderful arrangement and performance. This is the kind of stuff that made me fall in love with the banjo.
That's beautiful man. Good picking and voice.
Very true to the original with a bit more up beat tempo and banjo articulation. Nice job on the vocals too. Ola Belle played it slower and more sorrowful. You did a fine job and I have to agree with others that it is my favorite rendition also.

My man, great rendition. I dig it the most.
I've listened to this literally every day since i found it s couple months back. I love the original Ola Belle version but man... this is even better, honestly. Just wanted to thank you and tell you that you're a beautiful human.
I got chills! Very well done!!

Beautiful!!
Lyrics for anyone wanting to sing along with his amazing version of this song...
Over yonder in the graveyard
Where the wild, wild flowers grow
There they laid my own true lover
She's gone from me, forever more
Fairer than the sweetest flower
Restless as the wildest way
Born with a love deep as a ocean
This was the girl that I did win
I left her there back in the mountain
To see the world riches to gain
Oh when I returned no earthy treasure
Could ease this heart so filled with pain
There so high upon the mountain
Beneath that little mound of clay
The girl that I returned to marry
So still among the flowers did lay
I'll go away and I will wander
Lay aside my earthy gain
All I am undone in riches
Undone in sorrow I'll remain
Undone in sorrow I'll remain
"Undone In Sorrow"
I wouldn't doubt i might've messed up a few words 😅

You look and sound so southern. You will break my heart if you are from New Yor!
Born in Atlanta, live in Philadelphia
You did such a good job with this song. If you're ever in the Carolinas you're invited to jam with me and my old time friends.
Thanks!
The volume levels are perfect on this track: thumb tapping, banjo, and singing.
great!
WELL DONE, Friend.
Other than the Ola Belle Reed version, this is my favorite and I just happened on it by chance.

Thanks!
This guy just has complete talent none of that sheet music ever needed
