Clocky Crocket (King of the wild front ear)

Banjo ya hear is a homemade cigar box 5 String (made by Anthony). Guitar trad one. Three track demo. Will put pristine audio up later
Lyric below, guys..
Clocky Crocket, King of the Wild Front Ear (Jamie MacBlues)
1.Born on a mountain in the land of the free
Every one came from miles around this baby to see
For he had a beard going right down to his knees
Oh Clocky, Wolfie Crocket

2. Well Clocky he soon grew up to a man
Two shiny six guns never far from his hands
His reputation soon went out, and trembled this fair land
Bad Clocky, Wolfie, Crocket

3. Out in the desert he sat down by the fire
Planning an ambush on old farmer McGuire
Sheep farmers feared land grabbers, and the guns that they did hire
Like Clocky, Wolfie, Crocket

4. Well Farmer McGuire he came slow ridin' down the bluff
Saw Clock and offered him a peace pipe to puff
Clock said "man, ah'm wasted, but ah tell ya that's strong stuff
Or ma names not "Wolfie ,Crocket"

5. Then the farmer took a block of wood, and plucked on its three strings
Clocky stood amazed, at the pleasures it did bring
Said ah gotta get me, one of them darn things
Oh Clocky, Wolfie ,Crocket


6. Well Clocky got his own gitar, and travelled through the land
And soon he was a master, of that box there in his hand
"Ah got music in ma blood now, and its spreadin to ma glands"
Said Clocky, Woflie, Crocket

7. Well I will stop ma song now, for we all know the end
He joined the CB Nation, and drove us around the bend
With wailing gitar, old time movies,and cars screechin' out "hell mend"
That Clocky, Woflie,Crocket

8..Born on a mountain in the land of the free
Every one came from miles around this baby to see
For he had a beard going right down to his knees
Oh Clocky, Wolfie Crocket
