Swing For The Lord by Oldrottenhead

[Oldrottenhead]

I got my Gecko Portable Cajon in the mail the other day, quite pleased with it but now i need to learn to drum. Got the cajon for inspiration however inspiration came from my jasmine acoustic and i just saw The Ballad of Buster Scruggs on netflix which inspired the style and theme.

Not used to recording via the onboard mics so had to reduce a lot of noise, i see another learning curve ahead, perhaps next time i will use my own directional mics.
so it's a bit noisy and badly produced.

anyway it is what it is.

Badge on my chest
gun in my hand
in god I trust
I am the law of the land
if you come here
don't do no wrong
or you're gonna swing for the lord

we're a god fearing people
don't do now wrong
live by the book
all get along
if you come here
don't do no wrong
or you're gonna swing for the lord

I am the law
I am the judge
I am the jury
so don't hold no grudge
the good book says
we should all be kind
or you're gonna swing for the lord

our gallows stand
in my front yard
people come from miles
from near and far
have your last meal
then say your prayers
cos you're gonna swing for the lord

I am the law
I am the judge
I am the jury
don't hold no grudge
the good book says
we should all be kind
or you're gonna swing for the lord

Can't hear too much spurious noise Jim, but like you i've left drumming to others or a machine.
Has a melody I loved joining in with.
