"Barlow Knife"
Title
"Barlow Knife"
Description
This old-time fiddle tune is known either as "Barlow Knife" or as "Cabin Creek."
The lyrics are typically presented as follows:
I been livin' here all my life,
All I got is a Barlow Knife;
Buckhorn handle and a Barlow blade,
Best dang knife that ever was made.
I've been married all my life,
And all I've got is a Barlow knife.
In this performance on the lyre-shaped hole Tennessee music box from his personal collection, Schnaufer plays with a metal slide.
