[dcab-l] Rattlesnake Hill Cover: What a Ways We've Come
Here is a Rattlesnake Hill version of an original song by Philadelphian songwriter Fred Moore:
What a Ways We’ve Come. This version, featuring Ed’s solo vocal and guitar, was recorded
before the excellent version done later by The Gibson Brothers.
What a Ways We’ve Come is a wonderful story of a family through 5 generations! The singer
recounts being with his Grandpa on the tracks of the C&O Railroad, crying from the roar of
locomotives and being comforted by his Grandpa. Later in the story, this same singer is now
the Grandpa himself, revisiting the C&O with his own grandchild, but with no more locomotives
rushing by, and no tears from his grandchild. Now, grass grows between the railroad ties and
the rails are rusted red, illustrating how life and times change. Add up these generations,
yielding 5!
Special thanks to Fred Moore for creating this wonderful song.

What a Ways We've Come Ab
Fred Moore
When I was a young lad
My old grandad would take me out on the C&O
When a locomotive on a fast freight exploded by
He'd hold me up 'n yell "Boy, there she goes!"
Big wheels turnin', side rods churnin'
Moanin' whistle always made me cry!
Grandad'd hold me tight 'n when the train pulled out'a sight
He'd wrap me in his arms 'n dry my eyes
And Oh! That reminds me of the time
When the railroad used to run....(Yodel)
Down along the mountainside......(Yodel)
And Oh! Those silver rails are rusted red
And the railroad's almost dead...(Yodel)
What a way we've come!
Summer's we'd go fishin'
Cross the tracks 'n cross the ditchin'
To the Manatawney where the rainbow run
Sittin' there a'waitin' countin' cars on all the freight
Grandaddy knew where every car come from.
He'd ridden every train from the Santa Fe to Maine
Told a tale for every summer day
Then the year that I turned ten I'd found that I'd lost my best friend
My old grandaddy passed away....
Chorus:
Last year my daughter had a little baby
They named him after his grandad
Yesterday the two of us went down to see where I grew up
The visit left me feelin' kinda sad.
There's no traffic on the C&O, didn't hear a whistle blow
Grass a'growin' through the old crossties.
Little one was wide awake but never got to see a freight...
Grandaddy wasn't there to dry my eyes!
Chorus:

[dcab-l] Rattlesnake Hill Cover: Take This Hammer
Here is a Rattlesnake Hill practice version of the Folk/Bluegrass song Take This Hammer.
Take This Hammer is a traditional 1870s American prison work song made famous by
blues artists like Lead Belly. It generally means carrying the heavy burden of oppression,
and a desire to escape from brutal forced labor.
Take This Hammer was issued on a commercial 78-rpm single by Lead Belly in 1940 and
again in 1942. Lead Belly added a "haah" at the end of each line: "Every time the men say
'haah', the hammer falls. The hammer rings, and we swing, and we sing." (In saying "we",
he was undoubtedly referring to his many years as an inmate of the notorious prison farm in
Angola, Louisiana. (Of note, the legend is that Lead Belly sang his way out of jail!)
This song is heavily tied to folklore about John Henry. There is a group of songs referred) to
as "hammer songs" or "roll songs" (wheelbarrow-hauling songs) with much the same
structure..
Bluegrass recordings include Osborne Brothers, and Flatt & Scruggs recorded it in their
famous album: At Carnegie Hall.

[dcab-l] All Mixed Up Live: You’ve Heard My Voice (and You Know My Name)
All Mixed Up Live: You’ve Heard My Voice (and You Know My Name)
Here is an All Mixed Up live cover of Greenwich Village folk singer Art Podell’s
gripping spiritual You’ve Heard My Voice from his definitive solo performance on his 2014
vinyl FolkWorks release From the Village to the Canyon, a Songwriter’s Journey.
However, the song was originally written in the 1960s with his songwriting partner Walter
Schorr, known together as: Art & Paul. (Interestingly, Art Podell was an original member
of The New Christy Minstrels!)
This song has also been covered by Glenn Yarbrough, Celeste, Bob Cook, and Judi
Resnick.
Barry Wendell’s live vocal and guitar performance is notably powerful! I added the driving
bass after the original live recording.
All Mixed Up musicians:
Barry Wendell Lead Vocal & Rhythm Guitar
Ed Schaeffer Lead Guitar, Harmony & Bass

Words Below………
You’ve Heard My Voice
Art & Paul
You Heard My Voice
You Heard My Voice
And you know My Name
If you've ever kissed in the summer rain
Slept where the winds and the snows have lain
If you've ever heard a lonely train
Then you've heard My voice
And you know My name
If you've bowed your head and you're filled with pride
And learned of death when a bird has died
And you’ve tasted tears when a child has cried
Then you've heard My voice
And you know My name
You've heard My voice in the winds of spring
Seen my face where the roses cling
I am the touch that the warm rains bring
I make my home in the heart of everything
In the driving rain of a summer squall
When the summer is gone, the petals fall
When the day is done and the Night Birds call
Then you've hear My voice and You know my Name
You've heard My voice in the winds of spring
Seen my face where the roses cling
I am the touch that the warm rains bring
I make my home in the heart of everything
In the driving rain of a summer squall
When the summer is gone, the petals fall
When the day is done and the Night Birds call….
Then you've hear My voice and You know my Name
Then you've hear My voice and You know my Name
You know My name
