General Jackson
John Hartford
Down On The River
Banjo tuned E, Capo 3, Key E
All verses same progression
Do[E]wn on the river, way down the [A]river
I h[E]ear a whistle b[B7]low
Do[E]wn on the landing, where I am st[A]anding
Dow[E]n where the ri[B7]ver fl[E]ows
Chorus 1:
Down on the river, way down the river
I hear a show boat band
Big wheel a flashing, old General Jackson
Rolling on to Oprey Land
Chorus 2:
Young people dancing, old folks romancing
All to the country tune
Here at the rail, put out to sail
Under a southern moon
Instrumental:
