about

Our banjo player Steve wrote this song, and yes, that is a 12-string acoustic guitar on the introduction and transitions. Jenny sings the lead on this one.

lyrics

by Steve Lowery 2011 Copyright Foggy Records

It’s a sad song sittin’ on the side of the road,
It’s a sad song sittin’ on the road,
500 miles 'til I see her smile
And it’s a sad song sittin’ on the road.

It’s a sad song comin’ down the road, down the road
It’s a sad song comin’ down the road.
Baby don’t fuss! I’m on that bus
And it’s a sad song comin’ down the road.

Hey there baby, don’t you cry, my bus’ gonna get there soon,
Hey diddle diddle the cat don’t fiddle …’cause my baby jumped over the moon.

It’s a bad song comin’ through the devil’s gap
It’s a bad song comin’ through the gap,
Just hold on tight, and I’ll see ya tonight
And it’s a bad song comin’ through the gap.

By the time I see you you’ll be singing this song,
Singing this song for me,
We’ll carry our tune by the light of the moon
And we’ll let this sad song be!

Bus driver singin’ that sad song, too,
Road house fever takes a hold of you.
Doctor! Doctor! Give us the cure,
It’s a sad song ailing for sure.

Hey there baby, don’t you cry, my bus’ gonna get there soon,
Hey diddle diddle the cat don’t fiddle ’cause my baby jumped over the moon.

It’s a sad song sitting on the side of the road
A sad song waiting for you,
We’ve packed our bags and we ain’t lookin’ back
Cause my dish ran away with the spoon,

Hey there baby, don’t you cry, my bus is gonna get there soon,
Hey diddle diddle the cat don’t fiddle 'cause my dish ran away with the spoon.

Somewhere in time are intersections of musical traditions and styles. Perhaps they are when country sired bluegrass, or bluegrass begat rockabilly, or folk morphed into rock. This is the music Foggy Gulch discovers.
