Larina

Haven't written any Bluegrass for a while, so here it is.
All comments welcome.


My sweet Larina

I left old sunny Queensland to search for southern gold.
I went to seek my fortune sold everything I owned.
So when I could return I'd buy my love a home my Larina.

I left her by the stables a tender kiss goodbye.
I found it hard to leave her tears welled up in her eyes.
I swore a solemn oath to her that I would return to Larina.

Bridge

I came across a bushranger bail up he cried give me all your
money or my gun will take your life.
He fired off a single shot I felt it burn inside. Oh, Larina.

I stumbled to the river bank and lay beneath the trees.
Can someone find Larina and tell her this I plead.
Tell her that I loved till the moment I did die.


Bridge

Oh My Larina



This train-beat country RealStyle features three "old time happy dance" instruments.
Acoustic guitar and mandolin play similar strumming parts that are panned to the left and right while a banjo strums along with a darker tone.
Electric bass alternates between the root and fifth on the beat.
TrainBeatBrushes RealDrums play in their only variation, which includes a busier brushes pattern in the B section.

This song is in the key of Bm/D and uses typical triads that occur every 2 to 8 beats.
