    Totally awesome!! Mando always reminds me of my uncle Fritz. He was 6’8” and him holding a mandolin looked really odd but man could that dude play!!🎶🎶🎶. So can you!

    Friend gave me a round back mandolin in the 60's. Nice to strum.

    This is a really nice melodic song.
    My favourite mando song was on an old Rod Stewart album.

      This is the way I hear it:
      Down home diggin' in the dirt
      A little hard work never hurt
      Barefoot getting sunburnt
      Back where she was raised
      High hay and a little creek
      Copperheads in the summer heat
      Some the color of a Georgia peach
      Back where she was raised
      Daddy would always say
      Mama won't you get that fiddle
      Come on, burn it to the ground
      Wailing like an old train whistle
      That high and lonesome sound
      She could play those mountain tunes
      Passed to her like heirlooms
      Y'all mama was little but get her a fiddle. She could turn that green grass blue
      Sally Gooden' and Cripple Creek
      Startin' fires with gasoline
      The dogs are ugly but they ain't mean
      Appalachia way
      Rawhide and Rocky Top
      They make fun of the way we talk
      But our front doors ain't never locked
      Appalachia way
      Don't it make you wanna stay
