I hadn&#8217;t seen Frank since the mid 60&#8217;s in Los Angeles, and we had a great time catching up, although we barely scratched the surface.<\/p>\n<p>Frank had taught me to play guitar, and banjo at the Old Town School of Folk Music, in Chicago, from 1957 to 1960.<\/p>\n<p>He showed me a song that he&#8217;d performed with the Weavers, and said that Pete Seeger had bemoaned the fact that this song hadn&#8217;t been published in Singout, and that it was in danger of getting lost. That makes it an ideal candidate for the Folk Den.<\/p>\n<p>Here are Frank and Mary Hamilton singing The Brazos River, with me playing 12-string and banjo backup.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"lyrics-header\">Lyrics:<\/div>\n<div class=\"lyrics\">\nA                        D              A<br \/>\nThe cool Angelina runs lofty and gliding<br \/>\nA             F#m                 B7                E<br \/>\nThe crooked Colorado runs weaving and winding<br \/>\nA             F#m                     D               A<br \/>\nThe Red River runs rusty, the Wichita clear<br \/>\nA             F#m           E               A<br \/>\nBut Down by the Brazos, I courted my dear<\/p>\n<p>A         D     A                    E<br \/>\nI la lie lee lee lee give me your hand<br \/>\nA         D     A           E       A<br \/>\nI la lie lee lee lee give me your hand<br \/>\nA         D     A                    E<br \/>\nI la lie lee lee lee give me your hand<br \/>\nA         D            E               A<br \/>\nThere&#8217;s many a river that waters the land<\/p>\n<p>She hugged me and she kissed me<br \/>\nAnd she called me her dandy<br \/>\nThe Brazos is muddy,<br \/>\nAnd sometimes quick sandy<\/p>\n<p>She hugged me and she kissed me<br \/>\nAnd called me her own<br \/>\nBut down by the Brazos<br \/>\nShe left me alone<\/p>\n<p>Now the girls of them rivers<br \/>\nThey&#8217;re plump and they&#8217;re pretty<br \/>\nThe Supine and the Sulfur<br \/>\nHave many a beauty<\/p>\n<p>I may wander the rivers<br \/>\nAnd many a shore,<br \/>\nBut down by the Brazos<br \/>\nI&#8217;ll wander no more<\/p>\n<p>I la lie lee lee lee give me your hand<br \/>\nI la lie lee lee lee give me your hand<br \/>\nI la lie lee lee lee give me your hand<br \/>\nThere&#8217;s many a river that waters the land X2<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6941","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cowboy","category-love"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/jimmy\/folkden-wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6941","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/jimmy\/folkden-wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/jimmy\/folkden-wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/jimmy\/folkden-wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/jimmy\/folkden-wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6941"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/jimmy\/folkden-wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6941\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8515,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/jimmy\/folkden-wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6941\/revisions\/8515"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/jimmy\/folkden-wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6941"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/jimmy\/folkden-wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6941"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/jimmy\/folkden-wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6941"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
