      THIS GREAT HIGH BARITONE 3 PART HARMONY SONG WAS WRITTEN BY CARTER STANLEY , AND FIRST RECORDED BY THE STANLEY BROS , WITH PEE WEE LAMBERT SINGING THE HIGH BARITONE PART . AS FAR AS I KNOW MONROE NEVER SANG THIS SONG AND DID NOT RECORD IT .CARTER STANLEYWAS A BLUEGRASS BOY FOR A SHORT WHILE , AND RALPH FILLED IN ON BANJO SEVERAL TIMES BUT NEVER WAS A BLUEGRASS BOY. THERE IS TALK THAT MONROE OFFERED TO FORM A NEW GROUP WITH THEM AND CALL IT ' BILL MONROE AND THE STANLEY BROTHERS " . NOW THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN SOMETHING BEYOND WONDERFUL .

    Billy Strings is appealing to all ages and bringing bluegrass to the front again. Carter Stanley would be proud of how he delivered his great song.

    Man that bluegrass high tenor is just something ELSE. Never heard a vocal cut like that, and it’s hits so hard. I remember the first time I heard Ralph Stanley sing, it about knocked me off my chair.

    The music of heaven, for us hillbillies. Billy Strings and those like him are the future of Bluegrass music as the old guard, like Del, fade away.

    I sit here alone on the banks of the river
    The lonesome wind blows the water rolls high
    I hear a voice calling out there in the darkness
    I sit here alone too lonesome to cry
    Oh the water rolls high on the river at midnight
    I sit on the shore to grieve and to cry
    The woman I love she left me this morning
    With no one to love or kiss me goodnight
    We met there one night by the banks of the river
    Sat there holding hands and making our vows
    Swore we’d never part and be happy together
    But a new love she’s found she’s gone from me now

    Billy knows, plays, and appreciates music from Bill and Doc all the way to Tool and Umphrey McGee. Can’t say my tastes run that wide, but I’m glad his do.
