Lyrics for Song: Sourwood Mountain
Lyrics for Album: Cuttin' Grass [MGM] [1963]
(Benny Birchfield - Bobby Osborne - Sonny Osborne)
I got a girl in the Sourwood Mountain, hi ho didle oh day
She won't come and I won't call her, hi ho didle oh day
Hey, old man I want your daughter, hi ho didle oh day
Bake my bread and carry my water, hi ho didle oh day.
--- Instrumental ---
Rooster crow on the Sourwood Mountain, hi ho didle oh day
So many pretty girls I can't count them, hi ho didle oh day
Big girls love, the little ones spite you, hi ho didle oh day
Big dogs bark and little dogs bite you, hi ho didle oh day.
--- Instrumental ---
Sarra, Sarra, let's go walkin', hi ho didle oh day
Kiss me quick and stop your talkin', hi ho didle oh day
Sheriff, sheriff, can opposy, hi ho didle oh day
Someone stole my darling plossy, hi ho didle oh day...

Sourwood Mountain
Recorded in 1963 for MGM, this track by the Osborne Brothers captures the quintessential bluegrass sound of the early 1960s. The song features the brothers' signature harmonies and acoustic instrumentation, blending traditional folk themes with the energetic drive characteristic of their discography. Released on the album Cuttin' Grass, it stands as a representative piece of their work during a period when they were establishing their reputation as masters of the genre. The recording reflects the era's appreciation for storytelling through music, utilizing the brothers' vocal interplay to convey the narrative of the title. It remains a notable example of their contribution to American roots music before their later commercial success with other labels. |
