On Springfield Mountain [HL:1295436]

One of the earliest known American ballads, this folk song sings of Timothy Myrick, who died of a poisonous snake bite. While the original take was heartfelt, it has been passed down to become a more comedic and livelier tale. The arrangement is filled with musical styles along with typical nonsense syllables creating a fun and engaging rehearsal and performance. A folk song gem with a lively piano accompaniment!
