That is a good folk song, good singing ,, pictures of west Virginia makes for true story experiences by somebody , somewhere, the best folk songs are the true stories like it all
verse 1 I was born on a windy mountain Bramwell, West Virginia is my home A small mining town in Mercer County But as a boy I swore I would never dig that coal Like a boy I swore I would never dig that coal verse 2 When I was sixteen, I jumped a freight train Gone to seek fortune with a song This old guitar, my only companion Lord, I was born to be a stone chorus And I travel the world from Maine to California But I don’t see where the treetops cover the sky This old troubadour is longing for the hills of West Virginia And I’ll go back to the windy mountain before I die I’ll go back to the windy mountain before I die verse 3 I had a daughter on a windy mountain With golden hair and crystalline blue eyes A house and a family she counted on Why I jumped that train, he broke his art in half chorus And I travel the world from Maine to California Left some pretty girls with tears in their eyes But the one I really love is back in West Virginia I’ll go back to the windy mountain before I die I’ll go back to the windy mountain before I die verse 4 When I return to the windy mountain And God is taking me home Bury me where the wind howls And put those lonely words on my stone: chorus "he traveled the world from Maine to California Now he rests where the treetops cover the sky An old troubadour in peace in the hills of West Virginia He went back to the windy mountain before he died Now he lives on a high, windy mountain.”

Just saw this great Bluegrass TALENTED band at Randy's Pickin' Parlor in Bloomingdale Georgia. Spoke to Steve again and 1st time I met Skip Cherryholmes (met Molly a few years back), Zack at 19 years old is phenomenal (his whole family was there including his little sister)> Had a chance to speak to Jason, and newcomers Jamie and Jacob. Folks, these are the real thing and they really know how to bend dem strings. If you don't make an effort to see them then you do not appreciate Bluegrass!!!
I really like the music. Sounds similar to the music in Bonnie and Clyde and sometime featured Bristol Darling with the Boys on Andy Griffith. Denver Pyle was Bristol. That was a real group with real musicians, though their name escapes me now. TV daughter Charlene did some singing with the group. There are a few Polka Bands which now feature fiddles bass fiddles, and guitars in their ethnic folk music.

JeffinBville still there and kickin. They’ve got a brewery I believe and used to have a beer festival down there in the fall. Also they have a little diner down there that gets rave reviews but I haven’t been to it
I saw your band perform on the show Song Of The Mountains, in the location called The Cavern, and I enjoyed your music. However, when you play on a stage for an audience, my suggestion is for all of you to wear identical sport jackets, shirts, and string ties. so that you present a professional appearance, and show that your are a cohesive, serious, and dedicated band, who take pride in their appearance and presentation to the audience, rather than looking like a bunch of bluegrass players showing up for a practice, and wearing any clothes that they feel like wearing.

Amen! This old boy will make that trip. Putnam and Kanawha County
Bluegrass music has fast became one of my favorite types of music
Same!
Yes. Bluegrass and folk (Nordic etc) are my favorites. Something about the music itself feels right
welcome
Love it
Glad that is made a resurgence. So much more to it than some people give it credit for. Rock owes it's origin to bluegrass.
That sure is a good'un. Even better when The Bo-man introduces it on his radio show.
Beautiful song about a truly beautiful place on this earth, forever my home, West Virginia ❤️🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲
Wood County here…….love it!
A great bluegrass group that keeps it so real.
I grew up with Steve Dillon the banjo player. you'll never meet a nicer person.
Get it boys!❤️👍🇺🇸
Song gives me goosebumps. Thank you for keeping bluegrass alive
Bluefield, WV here. 9 miles from. Love Bluegrass, keep it coming.

Killer voice son
verse 1
I was born on a windy mountain
Bramwell, West Virginia is my home
A small mining town in Mercer County
But as a boy I swore I would never dig that coal
Like a boy I swore I would never dig that coal
verse 2
When I was sixteen, I jumped a freight train
Gone to seek fortune with a song
This old guitar, my only companion
Lord, I was born to be a stone
chorus
And I travel the world from Maine to California
But I don’t see where the treetops cover the sky
This old troubadour is longing for the hills of West Virginia
And I’ll go back to the windy mountain before I die
I’ll go back to the windy mountain before I die
verse 3
I had a daughter on a windy mountain
With golden hair and crystalline blue eyes
A house and a family she counted on
Why I jumped that train, he broke his art in half
chorus
And I travel the world from Maine to California
Left some pretty girls with tears in their eyes
But the one I really love is back in West Virginia
I’ll go back to the windy mountain before I die
I’ll go back to the windy mountain before I die
verse 4
When I return to the windy mountain
And God is taking me home
Bury me where the wind howls
And put those lonely words on my stone:
chorus
"he traveled the world from Maine to California
Now he rests where the treetops cover the sky
An old troubadour in peace in the hills of West Virginia
He went back to the windy mountain before he died
Now he lives on a high, windy mountain.”

verset 1
Je suis né sur une montagne venteuse
Bramwell, Virginie occidentale est ma maison
Une petite ville minière dans le comté de Mercer
Mais en tant que garçon j’ai juré que je ne creuserais jamais ce charbon
Comme un garçon j’ai juré que je ne creuserais jamais ce charbon
verset 2
À seize ans, j’ai sauté un train de marchandises
Parti chercher fortune avec une chanson
Cette vieille guitare, mon seul compagnon
Seigneur, je suis né pour être une pierre
choeur
Et je parcours le monde du Maine à la Californie
Mais je ne vois pas où la cime des arbres recouvre le ciel
Ce vieux troubadour aspire aux collines de la Virginie occidentale
Et je retournerai à la montagne venteuse avant de mourir
Je retournerai à la montagne venteuse avant de mourir
verset 3
J’avais une fille sur une montagne venteuse
Avec des cheveux d’or et des yeux d’un bleu cristallin
Une maison et une famille qu’elle comptait
Pourquoi j’ai sauté ce train, il a cassé son hеart en deux
choeur
Et je parcours le monde du Maine à la Californie
Laissé quelques jolies filles avec des larmes dans les yeux
Mais celui que j’aime vraiment est de retour en Virginie occidentale
Je retournerai à la montagne venteuse avant de mourir
Je retournerai à la montagne venteuse avant de mourir
verset 4
Quand je retournerai à la montagne venteuse
Et le bon Dieu m’emmène chez moi
Enterre-moi là où le vent hurle
Et pose ces mots solitaires sur ma pierre:
choeur
"il a parcouru le monde du Maine à la Californie
Maintenant il se repose là où la cime des arbres recouvre le ciel
Un vieux troubadour en paix dans les collines de la Virginie occidentale
Il est retourné à la montagne venteuse avant de mourir
Maintenant, il vit sur une montagne venteuse en hauteur. »
Yass
Hey there Steve. ..... .m
As someone who knows Bramwell, (is it still there or is it just a hole in the ground now?) I do approve.
JeffinBville still there and kickin. They’ve got a brewery I believe and used to have a beer festival down there in the fall. Also they have a little diner down there that gets rave reviews but I haven’t been to it
Great bring me right 🏡 men👩🏼🦳💋from Maine
So where are you driving, 1.03-1.07?
BlueBox again?
I saw your band perform on the show Song Of The Mountains, in the location called The Cavern, and I enjoyed your music. However, when you play on a stage for an audience, my suggestion is for all of you to wear identical sport jackets, shirts, and string ties. so that you present a professional appearance, and show that your are a cohesive, serious, and dedicated band, who take pride in their appearance and presentation to the audience, rather than looking like a bunch of bluegrass players showing up for a practice, and wearing any clothes that they feel like wearing.
