Actor Paul Newman's character, Luke, plays a rather meloncholy version of this tune while he is in the jail workhouse. Newman actually learned to play the banjo expressely for that scene. I ended up scouring several banjo/bluegrass websites while researching this song. I found that there are a BUNCH of added verses and choruses with ambiguous origins that have become popular with performers over the years. I have included them for you on the final pages of the packet. The original lyrics appear in bold print in the text box at the beginning of the page. The variations follow and are labeled as alternates. A video demo link will be added soon...

It can be omitted by using a simple bend on the middle string during the intro and by playing on just the melody string during the chorus.This song should be within reach of all levels of Intermediate player. It uses common chords and most fingerings are not overly complex. The easy, relaxed beat also helps keep this an approchable piece.

As Reggae rhythms are not commonly found in a lot of dulcimer music, getting this syncopation down might be the trickiest part. The old axiom, if you can sing it, you can play it, is especially true here. Listen to your favorite recording several times to help get the groove into your memory. The included strum pattern digrams and Reggae beat overview page provides additional tips and instruction.This packet contains:~Dulcimer (DAd) tablature~Standard lead sheet notation~Complete lyrics~Accompaniment chords~Strum pattern diagrams~Reggae overview (left/right hand techniques) A YouTube demo video will be uploaded soon.

Dulcimer,Instrumental Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1496379 By Jethro Tull. By Ian Anderson. Arranged by Jaymie Maham. 20th Century,Contemporary,Folk,Rock. Individual part. 7 pages. Jaymie Maham #1072948. Published by Jaymie Maham (A0.1496379). Arranged for mountain dulcimer in standard DAd (1-5-8) tuning. No extra frets required. Because of a few sixteenth note embellishments, I'm setting the suggested skill level at Intermediate to Upper Intermediate and above. However, if you enjoy this tune, it's a good one to stretch your abilities. (read below)This progressive rock classic is great fun to play. Use of power (barre) chord shapes in most measures really help to simplify finger positions. Once the chord shape is in place, other notes in the measure can be quickly flatpicked by just repositioning the thumb. Makes what sounds like a very challenging piece much easier to approach. If you're a Jethro Tull fan, you know that this is one of those songs that really sticks in your noggin. The old axiom, if you can sing it, you can play it holds true. Familiarity with the lyrics can help make this piece manageable for all levels of Intermediate player. Included in this packet:~DAd dulcimer tablature~Lead sheet standard notation~Complete lyrics~Accompaniment chords~Notes on finger positions A YouTube demo video will be uploaded soon.
