Well, Cindy is a little galShe lives away down southShe's so sweet the honeybeesSwarm around her mouthChorus:Get along home, Cindy CindyGet along home, Cindy CindyGet along home, Cindy CindyI'll marry you some dayWell, I went to see my CindyShe was standing in the doorHer shoes and stockings in her handsHer clothes all over the floor(Chorus)My Cindy is a pretty girlMy Cindy is a peachShe throws her arms around my neckAnd hangs on like a leech(Chorus)I wish I were an appleA-hangin on the treeAn' every time that Cindy passedShe'd take a bite o' me(Chorus)She told me that she loved meShe called me SugarplumShe drew her arms around meI thought my time had come(Chorus)Wish I had a needle and threadWish that I could sewI'd sew that gal to my coat tailsAnd down the road we'd go(Chorus)She loved me on the mountainsideShe loved me on the hillAnd every time she said "I won't"Her echo said "I will!"(Chorus)She took me to the parlorShe cooled me with her fanShe said I was the prettiest thingIn the shape of mortal man(Chorus)She loves me in the summertimeShe loves me in the fallIf she don't love me all the timeI want no love at all(Chorus)If I had a pretty galI'd put her on a shelfEv'ry time she smiled at meI'd jump right up myself(Chorus)Buffy Sainte-Marie on Rainbow Quest with Pete Seeger (Episode 38)

The capo looks like it's on the third or fourth fret... And the song is definitely being sung in the key of A. I'm guessing Pete has tuned to G (but down a whole setp)... The capo on the fourth fret would then put him in the key of A. I think...

One of the weirdest, and most haunting things I've ever heard... Just gorgeous stuff!

Pete himself was the creator of the first long necked banjo and here is playing it well as always. Indeed it seems to be tuned to A Major with the capo on the 4th which would suggest open, it would be tuned to an F chord. The treble string isn't clamped under the capo of course, but that doesn't matter. I know Pete has tuned his twelve string guitar at least a whole tone flat when he plays that instrument. No broken strings is a good thing. Surely, you can hear him tuning it, capo on.

Well, Buffy tunes the bow to A and the song seems to be in the key of A, so Open A would make sense.It also looks like Pete's using a capo on the 3rd or 4th fret, but I don't really know... hope I helped a little.

This is really awesome. Does anyone happen to know what tuning Pete's banjo is in? I play it in Open G, but I know that's not what this is in.

We have to sing this in choir, much differently though

"Well I know another vers, I could sing a couple more or so,but I think I'd very much like to hear that old mouth bow...."Pete Seeger=genius.
