I have my own tunning and arrangement for this song. I know it's usually done in G mogal but I like the F tunning better.

This a song I wrote because I got all excited about playing slide on my banjo wile playing clawhammer.

This is my version of Satan your kingdom must come down.

Bound to ride

Mole in the ground

This is my version of Frank Proffitts. Poor Man

Tunaday #104 - In GModal-f tuning (fDGCD). Thought it sounded shantyish to me, probably not strictly by definition, and not good enough to be a sea shanty or even a lake shanty.

Learned from a Clarence Ashley and Doc Watson recording, Same Old Man Living at the Mill is the old-time Tune of the Week for 3/1/19. Mary Z Cox recently recorded this with all of the lyrics for her new CD Carolina Banjo and says she learned it from the Dillards. What I like about the song, besides its mixolydian melody, is the fact that it has square dance calls in some of the lyrics. I only sing the ones with the dance calls.

From a late night session at Rich Hartness's house in Greensboro, North Carolina in August of 2002. Rich Hartness, fiddle; Tolly Tollefson, guitar, Brendan Doyle, banjo. Complete with Rich hollering square dance calls, inspired by Asa Martin on the 1932 recording of Charlie Wilson and His Hayloft Boys.
