Elijah Morris came out of Tennessee in the early days.
Well, he was born in 1830.
By the time he was growing, he was making fiddles in Nashville, Tennessee.
Then he came to this part of the country and actually homesteaded on the Buffalo River.
And there his sons and his daughters were born.
And his son John Morris was my grandfather.
And John Morris [G] made this guitar.
And we think [C] about, well, at least 130 years ago from a fence [Dm] rail,
ox yoke, [Bm] I'm telling what they call me,
[D]
headboard of Grandma's [F]
[Bb] bedstead.
And I've heard that because he used her bedstead up, she ran him [G] off.
[C] [F]
Let's do some of the kind of picking that he did.
I watched him a lot.
