"False Hearted Lover's Blues" by Dock Boggs
Banjo Heritage 👉 Patreon.com/CliftonHicks
I learned "False Hearted Lover's Blues" from a 1927 recording of Moran Lee "Dock" Boggs. The melody is borrowed from the earlier ballad, "Hustling Gamblers," also known as "Country Blues." Other notable recordings have been contributed by Ralph Stanley, Levon Helm, Riley Baugus, and Hank III.
False hearts have been my downfall
Pretty women have been my craze,
I'm sure my false-hearted lover
Will lay me in my lonesome grave.
They'll bite the hand that feeds them
Spend all the money you can save,
From your heart strings weave silk garters
Build a dog house on your grave.
Ragged clothes falling from my body
The wolves howling 'round my door,
Let the man who loves my darling girl
Feel the bite of of my forty-four.
Corn whisky has ruined my body
These women is a wearing on my mind,
I've traveled this wide world over
Peace on earth I cannot find.
When my earthly stay is over
Sink my dead body in the sea,
Go and tell my false-hearted lover
That the whales will fuss over me.

    I'm pretty sure I single handedly boosted the hell out of your Cumberland Gap videos this week. Also, prior to this week I didn't even know this song, but it felt weird when I realized Old Crow Medicine Show played this but changed the words for their song Carry Be Back. On one hand they're keeping old tunes alive. On the other it feels kind of dirty.

    I am an old time fiddler and man, I couldn't disagree with you more. You're saying that playing the music of Ed Haley, JP Fraley, Clyde Davenport, John Salyer, and yes, Tommy Jarrell amounts to playing music from New York City?? I guess the Ballad of Kyle Rittenhouse is an old traditional song, right?

      @@CliftonHicksbanjo Your sarcastic remark proves you're just trying to stir people up with your opinionated diatribe about what is and what isn't "authentic". Nobody I know thinks less of a fellow musician because they happen to be a local "hillbilly". Hell, I am a local "hillbilly!" You're trying to divide people, not bring them together in the true spirit of music. Too much division is being preached in our country these days and you are following suit. Who gives a shit whether someone is from New York City or Marshall, NC., if they are into the music, as everyone in my old time jam are. We have people from all over the country and all political persuasions, but we come together as friends on jam night.
