Sold Down The River - Bill Monroe
Where is the love that you promised neath the pine
Gone like the flowers in the fall
You crossed your heart now you're double crossing mine
You've been petending after all
I was sold down the river to a port of broken dreams
Drifting in sorrow down the stream
Sold down the river on a ship that won't return
When it anchors in the sea of broken dreams
I never dreamed that your love would grow so cold
Hiding behind the rainbow's end
You must be blind for the glitter of the gold
Gold that can never find a friend
* Refrain
You'll never know what it means to sit and cry
After your heart is broken too
Someday you'll learn and your soul will burn and die
When some one double crosses you
* Refrain
William Smith Monroe, known as Bill Monroe (1911-1996), is considered the father of bluegrass. Born in Kentucky, Monroe began playing country music at a young age, influenced by his father's singing and the musical traditions of the region. In 1938, he formed his first group, the "Blue Grass Boys", which achieved success with songs like "Mule Skinner Blues" and "Kentucky Waltz". Monroe's innovative sound, characterized by a fast tempo, intricate harmonies, and instrumental virtuosity, revolutionized country music, giving birth to an entirely new genre: bluegrass. His influence has been profound and lasting, inspiring generations of country and folk musicians. Among his most important albums are "The Essential Bill Monroe" and "Blue Grass Special".
