[A] Jimmy had a private conversation.
[D#] There [A] wasn't much said in my presence.
Of course, he didn't like that too much.
[F#m] You know, he tried every [C] way in the world to talk me [A] out of it.
I remember the time when J.D. left.
It was a sad time.
J.D. left, and I left in the winter of 1963.
[C] And [A] I'm not saying it because of J.D. or myself,
but Jimmy [C] never did get over that.
[A] He never did.
He tried real [E] hard, and he never did understand.
I don't know about [A] J.D.'s. reason, but he never did understand my reason. Like I told him, nothing lasts forever. [G#]
[A]
I came back from the Black community in 1964. As they say, got into the reality of life. Just an eight to five [E] job. [A] And then, I guess it was two or three months before I'd [E] played any. [A] But there were two brothers, Bob and Charlie Goss. [E] And I had known them [A] growing up. [D] We had not [A] lived too far apart. J.D. lived on Harrisburg Park there in Lexington, a few miles from us. We went to his house one night [D] and played some music. [A] They had heard that somebody was playing the banjo. [C#] So [N] they found out, I guess, where I lived and came to my house. J.D. played with [D#] Esco Hankins there in Lexington. Esco, [E] you remember him. [A] He sounded a lot like Roy Inca. When I came back in 1961 to Lexington, they were playing at a club. But there was a note left that said, J.D.'s. coming by. [D#] So we hung around a while, and [D] he did. So I did. I went [A] over, and I think I'd taken my banjo. We formed the Kentucky Mountain Boys, me and my brother [E] and J.D. We [A] played a club called the Limehouse. Then we picked up Ed Stacy [B] on the bass. [A] We went at it with the attitude, [C#] look, we're going to play what we want to play. We don't care what people want to hear. We're going to play what we want to [A] play. And we did, primarily. That's what we did. We did a little bit of clapping once again. Country picking and singing with all the Kentucky Mountain Boys down tonight. [F#] Just ripping it [A] around the door here. Here's one we'd like to start off with. So fellas, if you're ready, [D] let's hang on down [A] the road. [E] [A] It probably was what you would call a step down from what I had been doing. Of course it was. But at that point in my life, I really never thought about it to that effect. I just wanted to keep loose playing music. We [F] were just playing and having [E] fun. [A] [D] [A]
Back then, [F#m] I didn't think much about it. Everybody was just local [F] guys that [A] didn't have no big name. We just enjoyed life. [D] [B] [E]
[A] I had [E] [A] [E] [A]
[Am] [A]
a friend of mine, I said, let's drive down and look [N] up J.D. I went to the Lime House first. I thought that's where he played. They said, no, he's down the street at 7th and Lime at Martin's Tavern. Oh yes, the fabulous [G] Martin's. [C] [G] [D] [G]
[C] [G]
[C] [G] The [D] beer's going. [G] A little shot, what we called a shotgun room. It was long and narrow. That was a one of a kind place. We played there, I think it was Friday and Saturday night. [D] Played there [G] for quite a while. It was a favorite for the kids over at UK. They'd come over and they would pack that place [C] out. [G] We had a lot of fun there. We played off and on there for, I don't know, we probably played there until 66
