The backing is 12 bar blues if that helps...

Hi Casarosa, I had a look on my favourite midifile site www.musicrobot .com sorry to say no luck this time .
I did a search on google and I saw free downloads in Mp3 format.
How about running the mp3 song thro Audacity slow down software ......it should be possible to pick out most of the notes .

just my thoughts .....good luck in your search .

Hello casarosa,

I've only just seen your request for dots. I've checked my catalogue of music and have come up with:-

OLE FAITHFUL. (note the spelling of Old)

From what you've said in your post, the words to this tune suggest this may be the copy you're looking for and I quote:

"Ole Faithful, we rode the range together,
Ole Faithful, in every kind of weather,
When your round up days are over,
There'll be pastures white with clover,
For you, Ole Faithful, pal o' mine"

It is in a book called "Your Kind Of Music - The Thirties" on page 151.

At the moment, I cannot scan anything into my computer, so if you don't have this book and it is indeed what you're looking for, let me know and I'll get my daughter to send it on to you.

Audrey

Hi Audrey

Thank you for taking the time to look for the music it does not appear to have words
it is a nice Guitar instrumental you can see and hear it here
