got bored today and wanted to record with a few of my new instruments (gourd mandolin and new fiddle)
lyrics
Wish I was a june apple
hangin on that tree
every time a little girl pass
she'd take a little bit outta me
Can't you hear that banjo say
"wish that gal was mine"?
Can't you hear that banjo say
"wish that gal was mine"?
Wish I had some sticks and poles
to build my chimney higher
every time it rains and snows
spits out all my fire
Going across the mountain
to hear that banjo ring
When I get on the other side,
Imma hear my woman sing
Build be a banjo out of a gourd
string it up with twine
the only tune it could play
"wish that gal was mine"

I've probably absorbed three or four different variations of this tune and tried to piece together "my own" version
