This is such a cool overall feel. The sound, the lyrics, along with the look. I'd LOVE to hear this recorded on old equipment, pressed to record, then played on an old Victrola. It would be haunting, but in a way that would keep you listening. Incredibly well done as always, Mr. Hicks.
Mr. Hicks? I guess it's good to be . when it's appropriate. And yes It's Most especially appropriate when speaking someone else's name. But that don't seem to be the case here, because that's no Mr. Hicks. I'm pretty sure that's death, all I kings and queens bow down to the, in the end so will we. You welcom ✌️💀
The steep dark hollows and ridge tops of Appalachia carry the wind song of haunting occurrences of yesteryear, Clifton’s music ( Old Leatherstocking) just blends beautifully with that melody. This guy knows how to play it right !
Gotta say, I found your channel several months ago and it has given me such a new appreciation for true folk. Today the traditional "front porch" tunes are far and few between. I find the stories these songs tell are so down to earth and simple, yet very powerful in their somberness. Keep this up!
when I first saw your other version in Dec 2020, I was like "who is this person, we need to be friends immediately". f*cking aces, absolutely amazing. it's on my death and hubris playlist!!
This is just what I needed...2 months ago, I saw this for the first time. Now, I own a banjo myself and can't go a day without Old Leatherstocking! Thank You my friend!
I've had both your version and Norma & Martin's version stuck in my head the last few days after my grandmother passed (rest her soul), and this was, in my opinion, the perfect amalgamation of both versions, and I loved it. Thank you for all you do
Una criada salió un día, un día Por cierto, conoció a un anciano. Su cabeza era calva, su barba era gris Su ropa hecha de arcilla fría Su ropa hecha de arcilla fría Ella dijo: "viejo, ¿qué hombre eres? ¿A qué país perteneces?» "Mi nombre es Muerte - ¿has oído hablar de mí? Todos los reyes y príncipes se inclinan ante mí Y tu hermosa doncella debe venir conmigo.» "Te daré oro, te daré perlas Te daré ropas ricas y costosas para que te las pongas. Si me permite un poco de tiempo Y Dame tiempo para enmendar mi vida Y Dame tiempo para enmendar mi vida.» "No tendré oro, no tendré perlas No quiero ropas caras para vestir. No puedo perdonarte un poco. Ni darte tiempo para enmendar tu vida. Ni darte tiempo para enmendar tu vida.» En seis meses esta hermosa doncella murió.; "Que esto se ponga en mi lápida," ella gritó "Aquí yace una pobre doncella angustiada Todos en su mejor momento ella fue arrebatado Su ropa hecha de arcilla fría.»
Love the lyrics especially the Kings and Prince part..... death will not bargain with anyone it is the great equalizer. Live life as it is your last day!

man I've been listening to this song and alog of Old Leatherstocking on repeat while I'm at work delivering parts to Mechanic shops really love your stuff hope to see more on Spotify one day I need to start a good old Back Woods Country Playlist none of that county pop
Every time I listen to this that's awesome I listen to it riding down the road listen to it set in the front of the stor whenever I feel the need awesome f****** awesome
I love how he makes the deep driving sound of that banjo compete for front center stage with his darkly sung lyrics. A brilliant piece of art painted around the message of the song. Reminds me a lot of why I think Led Zeppelin was so great. 😁
Hey Clifton, you've inspired me to get a banjo and the progress has been surprisingly fast with your UA-cam videos. I'd love to see you do a cover of house of the rising sun. Thanks a million man, I'm loving your content.
The most amazing part is how you nail this song flawlessly while wearing those gloves. U r amazing, we need you for Music in The Hills in West Virginia
I really love this song and performance. I really like the bluegrass, folk and blues, also listen often to The Death South, Mean mary and Rev. Peyton's Big Damn band. But I'm really very very happy to also have found your YT-canal. And will listen more often... Greetings and RESPECT from The Netherlands.

Where can I get a tab for this song. For Banjo.

This is the video that inspired me to buy a banjo. I never get tired of watching it.
60's Soul music. 1860's that is.

Its pretty perfect, I think that old film filter and a tube preamp would fit. But man a record player hiss skip would be killer too.

You welcom ✌️💀
An appropriate post for this weekend.
Haunting beyond belief.
👍👍
Playing in gloves all this time has always been miraculous to me, since your first video as ol leather-stocking.
The only country musician left. Thank you sir. Don't change a gawddamn thing

This is the song that made me subscribe. An amazing song for the playlist.

Talented, unique, authentic are the 3 descriptions that come to mind when referring to Mr. Hicks.
this is so good on so many levels
The eye movements were captivating enough to start.

MORE OLD LEATHERSTOCKING MORE MORE MORE
GOOD MORNING CLIFTON WISHING YOU A BLESSED WONDERFUL WEEKEND
Thank you for your service sir!
This seems like it would be something I'd encounter in red dead redemption 2. A man in the woods who ominously plays the banjo
Old Leatherstocking is officially my favorite banjo player!!!!!!
No words for how much I love Old Leatherstocking.......thank you Clifton~!!
The song is about the Beast of Revelations.
Love your music. And thank you for your service sir
Simply Awesome. Thank you.
I was confused cause I remembered this song but it's a different recording. Another good job!
Happy Halloween, making me miss Appalachia’s fall all the way here in Korea.
Home is always in u brother
Bro your voice is exactly what I’ve been looking for
Love the song and the eye movement and sets the mood .
Your voice is that of an old soul .Brilliant.
Sir, I've had far too many pints to watch something like this. Also; I absolutely love this.
Both the music and the persona are addictive.
More please?
This is the content we come for
man I've been listening to this song and alog of Old Leatherstocking on repeat while I'm at work delivering parts to Mechanic shops really love your stuff hope to see more on Spotify one day I need to start a good old Back Woods Country Playlist none of that county pop
Your music gives me chills!
This is awesome. Love it. The droning is perfect
Every time I listen to this that's awesome I listen to it riding down the road listen to it set in the front of the stor whenever I feel the need awesome f****** awesome
This video is 🔥. Thank you. Your music is helping me through the hardest time in my life.
I love the way you play banjo... soooooooo smooth
Damn this is pure folk art!!! Amazing voice, fantastic player too. I hope you have many students because this music is a dying tradition.
You really are very talented, I'm so glad I found this channel. Thank you
One of my favorite songs
Love the slower tempo
Yes sir. I would actually like to hear it even slower. I feel this is a tune that gets nastier the slower it gets.
Brother me and my daughter have been waiting for months and you know it lol thank you you made my 3 y.o. day she loves the "bone man"
I keep coming back to this video
Love this!!
Tis the season once again. Happy Halloween my friends!
Love this version! My wife and I are celebrating our 13th anniversary on Halloween, this is perfect!
I love how he makes the deep driving sound of that banjo compete for front center stage with his darkly sung lyrics. A brilliant piece of art painted around the message of the song. Reminds me a lot of why I think Led Zeppelin was so great. 😁
The smoke from the fire is a nice touch!
🎉🎉 excellent. Amazing music and all the concepts. Congratulations
Wonderful, thank you.
Didn't think I could experience listening to a song I past enjoyed like it was the first time again.
On one hand, 'Old Leatherstockings' creeps me out. On the other, it's great music and outstanding visuals that match the song. Keep up the great work!
It’s awesome how this sounds like it’s coming from an old record player. I love this
Wow this is so cool! I love it!
Lordy Lordy Look who’s returned from the grave with my favorite song. Happy Anniversary Old LeatherStocking.
Yes!!! Awesome man

You should offer a black hoodie with old Leatherstcokings on the back of it
Soo dope! Thank you for this!
This sounds wonderful. Banjo tone, vocal tone-- perfect!
Great to hear this one again, Clifton.
I like this slower version. Its crazy how these songs are kept going.

Excellent dark video Clifton 🤘🖤
LESSSSSSSGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The "Old Leatherstocking" persona is brilliant, and goes FAR (perhaps unconsciously) to showcase Dock Boggs' spine-shivering sound. "Old LeatherDocking", eh? LOL
DOCK BOGGS FOREVER, with Mike Seeger as Resurrector and Old Leatherstocking as Sentinel.....
Amen you braught him back!
diggin it. as a delta blues/bluegrass fan, this hits right in my happy place
This version is my personal favorite.
Spooky man.
Spooky.
Well done.
As I walked out one winter day
I met a man along the way,
His head was bald his beard was grey
His clothing made of the cold red clay (x2)
I said old man what happened to you?
What country did you belong unto?
My name is Death I've come for thee
All kings and princes bow down to me (x2)
I'll give you gold I'll give you pearls
I'll give you a fine silk robe to wear,
If you will spare me one season more
Give me some time my life to amend (x2)
I want no gold I want no pearls
I want no fine silk robe to wear,
I cannot give you one season more
Nor give you some time your life to amend (x2)
Three days later that lady died
Carve this upon my tomb she cried,
As I am now you'll be one day
Your clothing made of the cold red clay (x2)
Phenomenal man! Great job
Ol rector DID make an appearance on devils day!! Happy Halloween clif :)
Awesome 👏
I live in Massachusetts, and there are many old graveyards I would not dare play this song tomorrow morning at 12:01.
