- I've been getting lots of requests to do more Harry McClintock covers so here's my take on ''Hallelujah I'm a bum''. Next project in the works is a little tutorial on how I play ''Big Rock Candy Mountain'' as some have been requesting that as well. If anyone is interested in a tutorial on this song or other requests then feel free to jot them down in the comments section. Thanks for looking! #bigrockcandymountains #banjo #folkmusic #oldtimemusic #bluegrass #riverlife #river #banjomusic #hallelujah
One big union! Better to be a bum than a slave!
This is the best version if heard yet !!!
Gives me "Big rock candy mountain" Vibes hahaha
Your vocals have a good old-time feeling to them. Your gourd banjo is inspiring me to get mine out again. Perhaps some Buell Kazee songs are in order!
Thank you much Ethan! Yes you definitely should bring out the gourd again. It plays guitar songs quite well.
My mum used to sing this song. When in the kitchen. I always thought it was a silly song she had made up. But I have sense found out that it's not. RIP mum. Thank you for the song again. Brings back some wonderful memories of my mum....❤❤❤❤
My Grandfather would bounce the babies on his knees and sing this song. His family sang this at his memorial. "Hallelujah I'm a bum" reminds me of the wonderful Grandfather that was a hard worker that loved his family.
Thank you Kyle. It is important to recall these historic folk songs and you do so very well.
Solidarity forever!
God damn Kyle this is killer
Thank you much brotha!
As a person who's pop grew up in Australia during the depression this is a good song as it originated in Australia and my pop still sings this song to this day and I showed this to him and he. Was delighted
Interesting I had no idea it had a history in Australia. I mean it makes sense. I just haven’t been successful in finding a lot of history on this song Outside of what we are told already. Apparently, Spokane, Washington adapted this song as their anthem so that’s kinda neat. But I’m glad your dad found some joy watching this video and I’m grateful. Thank you. 🙏
My son refuses to listen to anything but this, so I've heard this song at least 200 times and I still love your songs, keep it up.
Damn, he does really? Sounds like everybody can’t get enough of this simple song haha, but thank you much and tell your son thank you much as well.
I just listened to this like 5 times in a row lmao flows so good love it man
just love that song it is my favorite song Barrie Rawson Tasmania Australia
Thanks! Seems to be everyone’s favorite lately!
Very well sung dear.
The river behind ya is the best accompaniment ..👍
What an incredible instrument and a heart felt performance. Please make more.
Thank you much I do love this instrument a lot!
This man is a gem
Love those old wobbly tunes. You did it justice too, man. Great rendition.
Thank you much it’s a fun one to play!
its just really nice to listen to your cover songs on your custom made banjos next to the river, idk how to describe it but its a whole vibe
Thank you much Phillip! It’s a nice pleasant vibe indeed.
So awesome, man!!
This has quickly become one of my favorite songs. I’ve listened to it like four times atleast just today and it’s going in my favorite songs playlist. You are a gifted man. Great playing and amazing voice.
Well thank you I sure do appreciate that! If you haven’t already, you should look up Harry McClintock sing it. That’s where I based it off from.
Kyle, that's a real old one. I remember hearing that when I was a kid. Off of an oldie. 78. Was never able to get all the words. Thanks a bunch. By the way, a real good job.
Indeed, it is. Feels like a forgotten tune, kind of but I love it because it’s almost relatable. Glad I could help you reminisce the golden years of music as well as our country.
Awesome!
Love this! Well done, sir! Good old Utah Philips. Nice banjo too.
Thank you much Edward I appreciate that!
I keep coming back to listen. Man. This is good.
It’s quite catchy!
cheers. well sung.
What a frickin delight, right here
🙌🪕
Love it!
Da fk... He sings it just like it sounds in the original recording... I swear I could hear the "Pops and white noise" from the record lol Great performance, and I see Big Rock Candy Mountain is next... Thought I was the only one in the world with that on their playlist
Thank you much!
@@kylewood4852 Great taste in music man
Nice
Fantastic! Didn't know this McClintock song, but it's now one of my favorites due to your excellent performance of it! Thanks a million! :)
Thank you much and thanks for listening. Besides Big Rock Candy Mountain, he had many more good hits.
@@kylewood4852 I hope to hear many more of them from you! :)
nice honest voice!
Needed this today 🙏
Classic tune. Thanks

Excellent!
Very cool! Love it.
Really a great performance man!
Great stuff!
Love it! My Pa used to sing this song to me in the 50's and I'd never heard it since then until you. Wow, you're great!
That’s really cool! I really love these old folk/slave songs and love playing them for folks to maybe help stabilize them a bit. It sure helps to stabilize me. 🙌🙏🪕
The sound from your banjo is so pleasant ☺️ Amazing! Thanks for the tunes, Kyle!
No problem! There’s more and much more to come.
oh baldy where arnt hair, just kidding love it mate.
Great release!
Kyle, that was wonderful! I have subscribed to your amazing channel, too! My Auntie Helen taught us that song, when we were kids! Thanks for sharing it and bringing back precious memories! Peace, Charles
Oh wow that is awesome! I’m glad I could bring back some good memories. I just subscribed to your amazing, channel as well. Your voice reminds me of Johnny Cash a little bit.
I’m loving this sounds like the real old time mountain music mad cool.
Thank you much, the gourd Banjo definitely fits the bill
Haha, man, that was great 👍
Pluckin' Ta DeSTRoY!! Sum Good Ole Toothpic Rio jamZ WEY!!!!!

10/10
Glorious video! Thanks for sharing this awesome version of yours, your voice is truly amazing!
Thank you much appreciated 🙏🪕
Yes man
Splendid hearing this on a gourd banjo! You sing verses I never heard on the 78rpm phonograph pressing I know this song from by "Lazy Larry."
Thanks! I’m not sure if Harry McClintock is the original songwriter, but he is the oldest recording I could find so these are his verses as far as I know.
@@kylewood4852 The Wikipedia page state's McClintock could be an originator. A variety of verses there, too. Ultimately, it comes from a time before ASCAP and the creative control imposed by 20th century music industry. Perhaps the "'Lazy' Larry" persona was a packaging to sell records, conveniently losing trace of the real performer? Anyway, loved your version and you got me eyeballing my neglected gourd for the warm sound quality it can produce. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallelujah,_I%27m_a_Bum
@@tedscarlett how very interesting. Harry’s version does have Jesus in it and I know they’re always trying to put down Jesus or silence the name anyway so who knows. But yeah, you should definitely show that gourd some love if the skinhead on it is still good and has tension.
great song and great performance!
Thank you much, Frederick! 🪕
Great performence! Like the location you got going on here. Stumbled on by accident and glad i did!
Thank you much and thanks for stopping by ✌️
600👍 Hallelujah!
Amen 🙏
very very good cover
Thanks for listening!
This is the 3rd most popular video you have and your most recent. Good work Kyle!
Thank you much!
@@kylewood4852 no problem
Algo just barely showed me this, Kyle. Congrats on the response. I think I saw a fish.
Thank you much Chris. The fishes do love to dance to the music sometimes
Hi, Kile. I love this song and it sounds simple and fum to play. Could you tell us what tuning your in and the chord shapes you're doing? Thank you so much and keep it up
Hey thank you much and yes of course. I’m down tuned at C G C E G and the chords are open G, D7, and C. If you use these chords in standard tuning, then all you would have to do is down tune. Thanks so much for tuning in I appreciate that 🪕
Amazingly sung! Which instrument are you playing?
gourd banjo
I just found this channel and song, just wanna say you are a master at your craft. I love it! 😂❤
Thank you much! 🪕🙌
@@kylewood4852 No problem, I'm definitely gonna jam out to your songs 😎🖤 Keep it up, I bet the more people find your music the more are gonna listen
@@dontmakememad6759 who knows 🤷♂️ I don’t really don’t give a shit Honestly, it’s all fun!
i don't really understand how to do shorts or anything but I definitely played this so loud that the neighbors called the cops lol, I tried to record the moment with your song in it but whatever. Love your style brother. God bless
@@dontmakememad6759 😮 oh geez was it worth it?
Where ya from, Kyle? All these river videos make me think about fishing much as pickin a banjer.
I reside in upper Washington near the North Cascades. Lots of times I do fish after the video. But it’s also more peaceful and away from the city folk. Sanctuary states are too rowdy for me.
💀🔥💀
🪕🙌
By the way, I'm 79. Oh, did I age myself later?
😂😆🤶🎅🏻🙂😎
Darlin Corey please!
Noted 🙌
My mum used to sing this when she was completely annoyed, and didn't want to kill us kids! 😂
Damn that’s hilarious 😆. I guess it’s a calming tune.
You sound killer
Thanks Kyle 🙌
@@kylewood4852 If you haven’t already, you should work out one of McClintock’s cowboy tunes!
@@KHbanjo sounds fun. Any particular request in mind?
please make a lesson on this❤
You got it Vincent! Stay tuned for next week I should have it up 🪕
@@kylewood4852 can't wait! rock on brotha
Is that... Guitar? Banjo? Made from a squash gourd?
It’s a gourd 5 string banjo. What you see here is an Americanized version of the African instrument known as akonting. The akonting is what would later be known as the banjo after the slaves brought their native instruments to the states.
@@kylewood4852 just watched the build video, thats an awesome instrument!
@@lumberjackofalltrades they really are! Just pure organic sound
In a way stop and what HI?
Care to make a little more sense on that?
great work angle the camera so you arent looking into it, its too intense
Maybe it is, maybe it isn’t. No one else seems to think so 🤷♂️
Man , This song , particularly, the way you do it is Pure magic. Much respect. Thank you for putting this out in the world. My grandparents always dropped the word bum on my brother and I , and it always made us laugh. Great tune .
Ha ha that’s funny. My grandpa did that to me too. But no problem and there will be much more where that came from and thank you much for the kind words. 🪕🙌
I don't like work and work don't like me, that is the reason I am hungry. That's the best line ever.
Nice
