lyrics

I learned to jump barbed wire fences
with a little bit of push and a little bit of grace
I learned to dance with a dagger in my pocket,
playing on the corner with my open case
I dream at night I dream of mountains,
Climbing up and sliding down them
Oh I dream sweet dreams and the mountains, they dream of me

One of these days I'm gonna make it down to Salt Creek, baby to Salt Creek, baby
Sing Hallelujah for all of the ladies who couldn't sing it before

Call up the ghosts of the sirens in the river
murdered there out of jealousy
Dig up the bones of the broken hearted lovers
who buried themselves beneath the willow tree
Darling Corey, Yonder Little Maggie
last seen by the banks of the sea
I'm not waiting for a wandering boy to come back to me
I've got my own banjo on my knee

One of these days I'm gonna make it down to Salt Creek, baby to Salt Creek, baby
Sing Hallelujah for all of the ladies who couldn't sing it before

Jes Raymond & The Blackberry Bushes Seattle, Washington

The Appalachian Mountains are the meeting place of the fiddle and the banjo, and musical culture permeates the entire length of the Mississippi River. The Blackberry Bushes are rooted in the rainy bottom of the Puget Sound, but their work is infused with the essence of the homes they wandered West from.
They have a playful and resonant sound with both twang and sophistication.
