Fall on My Knees

Written by: [Traditional]
Language: English
Comments: Old-Time, breakdown fiddle tune from the Galax, Va./Mt. Airy, N.C. area. D Major. ADae tuning (fiddle). AA. The tune is essentially the same as that found in Poor Johnny's Gone to War / John's Love Is Gone, but lyrics have been added. The Iron Mountain String Band recorded "John Lover Is Gone" and in their album notes they said it was the same tune as "Fallin' on My Knees".

Well I fall on my knees and I pray to the Lord,
That you will stay by me little girl,
That you will stay by me.

Look up, look down, that long lonesome road,
Hang down your pretty head and cry little girl,
Hang down your head and cry.
