What happens when you take the basic 12 bar blues in the key of D and mix in a doo wop riff? 
You get a fusion that results in a funky boogie woogie vamp!

For mountain dulcimer in standard DAd (1-5-8) tuning, no extra frets are required, but a couple of extra bends in the right spots help with getting that bluesy attitude.

Suggested skill level is Advanced Beginner and above. This can be practiced at any speed and the use of barr chords keeps the fingering pretty simple.

This isn't intended as a complete song, but rather is a study on the blues chord progression and an exercise in strumming and timing. Get the basic pattern down and you can add a startling amount of improvisation and your own idea of what the blues should be using just basic pentatonic in the box notes/shapes.

**LYRICS ADVISORY**
Please keep in mind that is a comedic/parody song in the southern gospel swing style.

Although the lyrics are not explicit, a few of the verses are a bit irreverent.

You may best remember this song from the movie, Cool Hand Luke. 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...
