Mole in the Ground
Originally by Bascom Lamar Lunsford
Written by Gordon Bok, this song I found on Folk-Legacy CD-56 "Turning Toward the Morning" by Gordon Bok, Ann Mayo Muir and Ed Trickett.
In the sleeve notes, Gordon writes:
"The melody of this song was composed one day on a schooner while beating past a small grassy island called Hay Ledge, for Capt. Havilah Hawkins, who bet me I couldn't write a tune as uncomplicated as the island. The words came together one pretty night going across that same bay in my own boat, for a young one who was asleep in the cabin, and who never heard it sung."
I felt it would just suit an autoharp accompaniment, so here is my interpretation of Gordon's lullaby.
