I tune the bottom E down to D and really just hit the bottom four strings

it is a combination of

550000

330000

530000

350000

pretty simple really

I think if you tune the top E down to D and the B sting down to A? maybe you can hit all the strings without them sounded discordant

I was born and raised in East Virginia

North Carolina I did go

There I met a pretty young maiden

Her name and age I do not know

Her hair it was of a light brown color

Lips they were a ruby red

And on her breast she wore white lilies

Where I long to lay my head

I'd rather be in some dark hollow

Where the sun won't ever shine

Than to see you wed another

Girl you know you'd never be mine

I was born and raised in East Virginia

North Carolina I did go

There I met a pretty young maiden

Her name and age I do not know

hey, thanks, I'm glad you liked it.. to sing something that people think is moving and powerful is very pleasing to me and what it's all about as far as I am concerned.. I love this old style of folk music, simple but so full of emotion and charachter, born no doubt from the hardship of the times all the best joe

"Lord"! Man you had my hair standing up and shooting out electricity with this!!!!!!!!!!! You conjured-up exactly the spirit that Beethovenbix mentions - the spirit of the 'old time mountainmen from the appalachians who did this kind of music' - except you do it with a fiery conviction thats so overwhelming and so Powerfully moving! You remind me of the great delta blues master from the 1930's -the great blind Willy Johnson! He 'attacked songs in a similar manner! LORDSOMEONESIGNYOUUP!
