Little Sadie (cover) - Murphy Campbell

[@Gwydii]

Went last night to take a little round, I met little Sadie and I shot her down, Went back home jumped in the bed, Forty-four pistol under my head. Waked next morning 'bout a half past nine, The hacks and the buggies all standing in line, The gents and campers standing a round, carrying little Sadie to the burial ground. I begin to think what a deed I'd done, I grabbed my hat and away I run. Made a good run, a little too slow, They overtook me in Jericho. I's standing on the corner, reading the bill When up stepped the sheriff from Thomasville he said, "Young man, is your name Brown? Remember that night you shot her down? " I said, "Yes, sir, but my name is Lee, And I killed Sadie in the first degree. First degree, second degree, If you got any papers, read 'em to me? " They took me downtown, dressed me in black, put me on the train and started me back, all the way back to Thomasville jail, And I had no money for to go my bail. The judge and the jury, they took their stand, The judge had the papers in his right hand, Forty-one days and forty-one nights, to wear that ball those stars and stripes.

Red Dead Redemption 2 at the camp vibes.

This is my favourite version of this song i've heard.

[@themtbghost]

Outstanding Performance thank you 😊

[@JCause323]

This is a great rendition, Doc Watson would be proud

[@mosin_boi]

Other than the minor hiccup at the end (personal opinion, every part of this) it is my favorite version.

[@spoopyidk]

which hiccup?

[@totalSLACK]

awesome! do a cover of the cuckoo bird song! you'd make it sound great, I'm sure

[@davidlawrence3560]

Nice - your playing is good but your voice and vocal inflection is amazing !

[@therane2518]

Very nice, your voice compliments the banjo very well!

[@ZlMNX]

I'm not sure how you ended up in my recommendations, but I'm really glad you did. Brilliant job! Excellent.

[@murphydoesntmatter]

Thank ya!

[@IamMurderwords]

Dude, stellar and rad by all accounts.

[@russ7414]

I think it's great that young people are keeping this American tradition alive.

[@mosin_boi]

Traditions must not die.

[@dirindell8577]

That's cause them old folk are awaking the fafo energy in the young folk

[@michaeledwards6136]

Love the twang in your voice, it's just so charming. I'm here for this rendition ❤

[@zedas1]

Ayy the youtube algorithm worked for once. Love me some old timey banjo. Well done.

[@redoberon]

Great classic song, I love how you played it

[@mosin_boi]

If i may ask, where do you find music sheets? Ive been learning the banjo and finding them proves to be difficult.

[@murphydoesntmatter]

I learned this one by ear however I recommend checking out Wayne Erbsens website

[@mosin_boi]

​@@murphydoesntmatternow that's impressive. Thanks, I'll check him out.

[@murphydoesntmatter]

Also Clifton Hicks is literally the holy grail of lessons and they’re all free - he’s all over KZbin.

[@mosin_boi]

​@@murphydoesntmatter Wayne erbsens book is a game changer in learning. Thanks for your recommendation.

[@murphydoesntmatter]

@@mosin_boi I’m glad you enjoyed it! I use it pretty much everyday.

[@HowellOsbornesMusic]

I love this! You are great!

[@lindsaybucks5069]

Amazing good job

[@MusicOtaku165]

Whenever I saw country is my least favorite genre, I NEVER consider folk a part of it. I mostly listen to hard rock and metal, but nothing pulls at my roots and my blood like folk music. Gorgeous voice and lovely playing!

[@murphydoesntmatter]

Thanks! I actually played in heavy metal bands for the first few years of playing instruments so I know what you mean. I would’ve said the same thing a couple years ago.

[@Doc_Tar]

Keep the traditions alive.

[@JordanStanton-rt5rd]

[@daveduncan8004]

Well young lady that’s some good Pickens I really enjoy it. You do good on the claw hammer style banjo picking I’ve been playing since 1974 and I like the Earl Scruggs three fingerpicking you doing really good and you can sing good to Keep up the good work

[@murphydoesntmatter]

Good on you for being able to Scruggs style! I could never. Thank you I appreciate it!

Is you channel banner from Little glade Mill Pond off the blue ridge parkway by any chance? it unlocked a core memory of mine from when I was a little kid going there with my grandparents. Also fantastic cover!

No I’m sorry it’s just a pond on some property my family owned at one point, but still around the blue ridge parkway

its used by white supremacists who want to signal their desire to overthrow America from its oppressors.

[@snirt1259]

This may be a stupid question but I am not well versed in copyright laws. Would you consider uploading your covers to Spotify?

[@murphydoesntmatter]

Technically I could, because if the writer of the song has been dead for at least 70 years - it’s free game - and these songs are all in the public domain cause they’re so old. But, I try to only publish my original songs on streaming platforms. I could do SoundCloud for these covers?
