Clifton Hicks "Devil Song" (Old Lady and the Devil) 432 Hz

Join us on Patreon 👉 / cliftonhicks
I learned "The Devil Song" (Old Lady and the Devil, Devil and the Farmer's Wife) from recordings of Bobby McMillon and Bill & Belle Reed. My instrument is an early 2000s Terry Bell minstrel banjo tuned ~ eAEG♯B. I'm using Aquila "New Nylgut" 1892 strings and a homemade white oak bridge.

Sometimes life really kicks you while you're down, thanks for cheering me up

[@jinndoe7068]

Thank you for the smiles!

[@Verkrustet]

REAL MUSIC! Excellent playing and singing. That banjo has a great soul to it.

[@theredone7980]

Every time Clifton performs this song There's a magic to it. You nailed it Brother Nice Job.

[@chickenindoubleC]

No one can do this song like you can. Love it

[@puttsky7]

One of my favourites

[@boscorner]

This was the first song I learned on banjo!

[@HistoryBoy]

PERFECT. One of my all time favorite tunes for banjo, played faultlessly per usual. This is my hint to learn the song via your patreon. It has been on my list for some time; hearing you play on a Boucher… just perfect. Time to break out mine and study your video!

[@glennbruno8478]

Wow! My Grandfather used to sing a version of this- I thought I would never hear it again! Thank You!

[@Patriot-American]

My kind of women too ... as I married one, g! This song gave me a good chuckle and it looks like you as well. Love your music and this channel and that's a nice looking banjo.

[@iloveFreedom.]

This song was written for me I've just realised 😂 🎉Wonderful 🎶

[@NarcanMedic]

Hell hath no wrath like a woman scorned! Great playin' Clif.

[@td4dotnet]

I love the lyrics to this, thanks for a giggle brother!

[@csccw3620]

Great to hear first thing in the morning. Love the view. Off to work and getting outside as soon as possible to listen to this by some water

[@kyleh586]

Such a great tune. Me and Aaron were singin it a few weeks ago.

[@Crashingbro]

Absolute banger, great to have another variant ❤

[@Rostov_red_beard]

love your rendition of this song. what a good lookin banjo too.

[@CousinErn]

I like the pulsing parts with the left hand!! Always learning new stuff from you

[@artemisx0707]

OBSESSED! So happy to hear you doing this song again. Time to listen on repeat :)

[@erniemiller1953]

Thanks!

[@chlorophyllix]

your song just made my day bright. thnx

[@blainechappell5383]

A tune meant for minstrel banjos if I’ve ever heard one

[@godzilla5599]

Amusing old song my friend,well done

[@DylanKDowd]

Good stuff brother

[@Deanstvoorschriften]

These lyrics always got me cracking up!

[@seancline8130]

loved the kick move! that was hilarious!

[@K31JAN]

Saw you do this on a video Blaine uploaded with Aaron present. Very nicely done.

[@kentaylorsympatico]

Thats a fine tune right there

[@wirmuessenhierraus]

Bravo!

[@guerrillapress7343]

😂 that old woman sounds like me ❤❤❤❤❤❤ love the song

[@zachb8012]

How you remember all those verses? I'll be damned if I haven't heard enough verses to this song to make it an hour long.

[@CliftonHicksbanjo]

It takes commitment to memorize. There are camel herders in the Arabian desert who can't read or write, but they can recite every verse of the Quran + lengthy poems, stories, family trees...

[@bearshield7138]

sweet job

[@macbailes9953]

Jennis Cottrill of Clay County, WV sang this one but called it "The Devil and the Farmer's Wife."

[@whiskymylove]

Your a great picker clif. One of these days id like to see you show off some picking skills. To borrow from metal heads, lets see some traditional old timey shredding one of these days lol

[@mrh4900]

It’s okay to be Anglo Saxon

[@EugeneHaroldKrabs1]

Could you please remake the tutorial on playing the two finger banjo

[@MarkWYoung-ky4uc]

The devil should stick to fiddle contests in Georgia...

[@michaelstudnicki]

You sir, are a true hillbilly. God bless and keep playing.

[@mccypr]

Sounds great! Thanks! Is Terry Bell still with us? 😎

[@speedwagon112]

Do you have a lesson for this one?

[@howabouthetruth2157]

Loved this tune. What a cool & unique banjo! Is that a true vintage instrument or a reproduction?

[@DoctorSquarePants]

Clifton, how do you sing and play at the same time? I'm pretty new to playing music and really would love to be able to sing and play like you do. You sound wonderful, would you ever consider chatting with me about it or posting a video on it? Love your stuff! 🙏🩵

[@chickenindoubleC]

It's all practice!!! I try to start singing as soon as I learn a song. It takes longer but they get married together sooner this way.

[@DoctorSquarePants]

@@chickenindoubleC how do you do it?

[@CliftonHicksbanjo]

Join us at BanjoHeritage.com you'll learn quickly

[@DoctorSquarePants]

@@CliftonHicksbanjo I'm more of a uke player myself ATM, until I can afford a banjolele for ragtime pieces. Eventually I would like a nice open back banjo and maybe then I'll join :)

[@thefemboyfamilyvlogs8837]

I don't know why but this song is familiar

[@Chuck-he1jd]

bought a banjo 3 years ago.... still dont know 1 song

[@chickenindoubleC]

Time for it, I reckon!
