The year 2009 has turned into something a year of review of the folk revival of the 1960s. In November I featured a posting of many of the episodes (via “YouTube”) of Pete Seeger’s classic folk television show from the 1960s, “Rainbow Quest”. I propose to do the same here to end out the year with as many of the selections from Harry Smith’s seminal “Anthology Of American Folk Music,” in one place, as I was able to find material for, either lyrics or "YouTube" performances (not necessarily by the original performer). This is down at the roots, for sure.
Wake Up, Jacob - Lyrics & Chords
Cowboy's Gettin' Up Holler
C Am
Wake up, Jacob, day's a-breakin',
C G7 C
Peas in the pot and hoe-cake's bakin'.
Bacon's in the pan and coffee's in the pot,
Come on round and get it while it's hot.
Early in the morning, almost day,
If you don't come soon, gonna throw it all away.
