I learned "False Hearted Lover's Blues" from a 1927 recording of Moran Lee "Dock" Boggs. The melody is borrowed from the earlier ballad, "Hustling Gamblers," also known as "Country Blues." Other notable recordings have been contributed by Doc Watson, Ralph Stanley, Levon Helm, Riley Baugus, and Hank III.
My instrument is an 1888 Thomposon & Odell "The Luscomb" banjo tuned ~ f♯DGAD.

False hearts have been my downfall
Pretty women have been my craze,
I know my false hearted lover
Will drive me to my lonesome grave.
They'll bite the hand that feeds them
Spend all the money you can save,
From your heartstrings weave silk garters
Build a dog house on your grave.
Ragged clothes falling from my body
The wolves howling 'round my door,
Let the man who wants my darling girl
Feel the bite of my forty four.
Corn whisky has wrecked my body
But women have wrecked my mind,
I've roamed this wide world over
Peace on earth I cannot find.
Take warning you fine young ladies
If your love and honor you have sold,
These men will have no use for you
When your black hair turns to gold.
When my earthly stay is over
Sink my dead body in the sea,
Go tell my false hearted lover
That the whales will fuss over me.
GMORNING CLIFTON HAVE A BLESSED WONDERFUL WEEKEND BEAUTIFUL BROTHER
GMORNING CAN NEVER GET ENOUGH 🙂💚🖖🏻💯👍🏻
That’s pretty deep but I get it. Well done. Haunts me to this day. No lie.
thanks big guy!
I’ve been hoping to see you more,Clifton , I do understand you have a life.. I haven’t been receiving many notifications since a certain video you made..
Mr. Hicks this channel is a treasure thanks
Sad but true. Banjo blues. Marvelous pickin'
One of my favorite songs written, ever. And you did a great job mr! Cheers!
DOCK BOGGS LIVES NOW & FOREVER
Clifton, you have the best collection of haunting blues banjo tunes. You are one of America's great repositories of banjo and American history. I hope one day you will publish compilations of your research for posterity.
Gorgeous.
Smiles here 😊 ☺...
With all the weird stuff going on today,false flags and bull caca one can always depend on the truthful and real old timey music of true and honest people. Your art Clifton always is true and so well done! I Thank You Most Kindly for this reality! A Very Happy New Year with Many Blessings! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
Please keep these songs coming our way. Such a rich tradition of banjo and I've pretty much put up the picks and switched to claw hammer. Something magical about the droning melody coming from that ol open back... Much appreciated ... 👍🏻
Im really enjoying your music. Thank You 👏👏👏👏
Good song Clifton , thank’s brother …
Can't keep my eyes off of the attack on your picking hand. 👍👍
It sounds pre- industrial in good way. Like a foot pedal sewing machine. The rhythm is in the forefront and the melody punches through holes the rhythm opened up.
God Bless You
Ive been through most of the ones that came up still Pretty Polly for me😊❤
Man that banjo sounds majestic
awesome,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
@Clifton Hicks, I just Love your Style, I have trouble finding music that I enjoy, I have a very difficult Ear Craving that is hard to satisfy... Bob Dylan, Leon Redbone, Lyle Lovett, and You... 🤝👏👏👏
How you sing and play, I love how you put your whole self in to it.
Alot of your songs i have listened too in dark and hard times. Have saved me in many ways.
As the saying gos Music calms The Savage Beast, but it also helps kill it, sadly alot of people I talk too dont understand what I'm trying to say.
And that's sad if a generation doesn't truly understand the power of music.
Keep on Truckin 😎👍🏻🤘🍺🇨🇦
Thank you. Beautiiful!
You really need to print some vinyls, I'd love to hear your music on a record player.
Thanks Clifton this is awesome and Dock is my favorite!
One of my favorite songs to sing. Love hearing you play it. Hope things are well clifton
Good one man. This and Rub Alcohol Blues are my favorite Doc Boggs songs.
Also props in the Hank III reference in the description. He's the one that got me into country music that led me to the old time stuff.
Thanks for the reminder, I should do that one, too. I recognize the melody he's using. Similar to "When Sorrow Encompasses Me 'Round" and J.L. Hooker's "Six White Horses."
A timeless tune
Thanks a lot dear friend 💚
wonderful
Amazing as always clifton
Love this guy. God bless you Clifton
ahhh music.
Very good
Yessir. Well done!
Love your banjo style of playing - two finger picking and strumming - unique!! Thanks so much for sharing, from South Africa
Woke up with a busch on this fine morn. Yesterday my pal and i were listening to Mr boggs his early recordings are the best you can hear the Air. Another fine cover as always cliff
this music speaks to me.......feels so right & true....don't know why...just sayin'
Great sound. Man love it on top of my hill in Sc on a ol cold January day
Man, your voice is great, and lovely musicianship. Thanks for these videos.
This is the real deal. Nicely done. Great picking and beautiful vocals. Rings true. Thank you.
Happy New Year, Clifton! Hope you and yours are healthy and safe this year. Thanks for the music.
First time I heard this song from Levon Helm. A great tune.
“I’m gonna step out and record a Video during my first 15 minute Break” said Clifton Hicks.
Love it
🔥
Good morrow my friend! Keep em coming. My neighbors are gonna love this one when I go out to work 🍻
Edit: I tried the balloon trick to "attempt" the transmutation of guitar to banjo... nah. I'll just save up and get a nice starter. Thanks again for all the lesson vids.
GMORNING EVERYONE HAVE A BLESSED WONDERFUL WEEKEND
Very nice! Keep it man!
Great music brother give me goosebumps everytime! Cheers!
Well done!
Wonderful as always! Would love to hear you play bright sunny south.
That's a good one I used to play all the time. Adding to the list...
@@CliftonHicksbanjo I'm very much looking forward to it. I'm compelled to add that I greatly appreciate what you've done and shared with banjo heritage, videos/lessons/tabs. I strung a guitar in banjo tuning and am having a blast learning the songs until I take a crack at building a mountain banjo. If the world is lucky, many more will find your music and lessons.
I’m still waiting patiently for “I’ve always been a ramble” to be put to an album or uploaded to TH-cam
Jesse, I've done it on TH-cam several times: th-cam.com/video/3v78z9ac4Cw/w-d-xo.html

Clifton, what type of banjo head do you use to get the great quality tone? Renaissance, Fiberskin, Hyde? Keep up the good work!
The best sounding banjo heads are pure white calfskin. I avoid goatskin and _really_ dislike Fiberskyn. The best thing for most people is to use a plain Remo frosted top.
@@CliftonHicksbanjo Thank you I really appreciate it. Keep up your great work.
Bravo!
69th comment. Ain't much but it's mine. Great stuff stranger.
Been wanting to pick up a banjo since summer , now that my dues are all in order there’s nothing to hold me back now ! 🪕
“Banjo on my knee” was the song that did it for me 👍 hands down you are the top reasons as to why im choosing this specific instrument over a guitar 🪕
Any suggestions as to what good solid banjo to start off with ?
Hey,buddy another badass rendering of a badass song....what tuning you got on that?
Hello Clifton, when it comes to nylon strings, is ist useful to use guitar strings instead because of the thickness? Saw another guy on YT who does it. What do you recommend? Best wishes from Berlin, Germany
I order individual nylon strings in any thickness I want from LaBella.com
You can also use fishing line.
Superb Clifton superb. Do you mind me asking what mic you use for recording your videos outdoors etc please?
That bridge is almost on top of the tail piece. What's the scale length on that "jo?
Can anyone tell me how to get into the Cumberland gap d,b,e,a,d tuning it would be greatly appreciated !
Why did you move your bridge so far down?
черт побери а где твоя самбреро
Летом ношу сомбреро
More better.....
Great video Cliff but the acoustics were a little off could hear the banjo fine but your voice seemed a little distant and hard to understand what you were singing might have just been where you were standing perhaps.
Awesome !!!!!!!!
