peter rowan intro - robert earl keen lyrics

robert: peter can you tell me about walls of time and how it came about?

peter: well we had left the grand ole opry around midnight on a sat-rday night down in nashville, tennessee in the old bus called the bluegr-ss breakdown that bill monroe had inherited from lonzo and oscar and ernest tub. and i’d been driving that bus, and we’d been driving the whole night and finally the bus broke down up in kentucky. we were on our way to bean blossom, indiana to play the brown county jamboree which was bill’s little country music park up there. and the old [?] broke down in a place called horsecaves, kentucky and i was standing outside the bus watching the sun rise from the mountains in the east and bill comes off the bus and he walks up to me and he sings these words and i wrote some words in answer to him:

the wind is blowing cross the mountain
down over the valley way below
it sweeps the grave of my darling
when i die that’s where i want to go
