about

Revived this tune from the Seznec Bros album "Jagged Land". Tab available at coryseznec.com/tabs

lyrics

chop, chop, chop it up, knees on the ground
picking up the cherrywood flakes all pink on the grassy mound
grassy mound

Hook it up, tie it with the right knots
Hand it to the bearded men who route and plane in the name of God
Name of God

and the waves break
against the hull of the riverboat
from where they came
only the winds know

Load, load, load it in, lay it in the right way
Even when it's tied down it'll still take its own shape
its own shape

feel your warmth, in the comfort of my dreams
rudest part of the lonely days are when you make for to leave
lonely day, lonely day...

and the waves break
against the hull of the riverboat
from where they came
only the winds know

lonely day, lonely day...

about

Cory Seznec image

Cory Seznec Paris, France

Somewhere between musical wanderer and uncertified ethnomusicologist dwells the artist Cory Seznec and his unique world.
A French-American in Paris, Seznec’s fingerstyle guitar-playing is syncopated, polyrhythmic, cross-pollinated, and idiosyncratic. He also sings, plays old-time banjo, and wades in the deep river of American song.
