General Jackson
John Hartford
Down On The River
Banjo tuned E, Capo 3, Key E
All verses same progression


  E                             A
Down on the river, way down the river
   E              B7
I hear a whistle blow
  E                               A
Down on the landing, where I am standing
   E             B7    E
Down where the river flows

Chorus 1:

Down on the river, way down the river
I hear a show boat band
Big wheel a flashing, old General Jackson
Rolling on to Oprey Land

Chorus 2:

Young people dancing, old folks romancing
All to the country tune
Here at the rail, put out to sail
Under a southern moon

Instrumental:

Chorus 1:

Chorus 2:
