'Cindy's
Breakdown'
video by The Rosinators
The Rosinators on the Left Field Stage at the 2005 Glastonbury
Festival, UK
"When American roots music deejays rave about bluegrass passion, Cajun
verve
and country-gospel authenticity, you know that The Rosinators are the
real deal.
From deep in the heart of Balham Alligator territory, the London-based
trio have
added their own stamp to the American old time tradition so
convincingly that most
of their radio airplay comes from US stations. Formed in 2001, they
blazed out of
the traps with dynamic three-part vocal harmonies and fiery twin-fiddle
attacks
driven by crackin' guitar picking."
[Acoustic Music Centre - Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Aug 2005]

Cindy's Breakdown
Trad arr. by The Rosinators
PDC Music PRS/MCPS
Cindy in the summertime
Cindy in the fall
If I ain't got my Cindy
I got nothing at all
Get along home home Cindy
Get along home
Get along home home Cindy
I'm a gonna miss you now
I wished I was an apple
Hangin' on a tree
Everytime my Cindy come along
She could take a little bite of me
Get along home home Cindy
Get along home
Get along home home Cindy
I'm a gonna miss you now
I wished I was a sugar tree
Standing in the town
Everytime my Cindy come along
She'd shake some sugar down
Get along home home Cindy
Get along home
Get along home home Cindy
I'm a gonna miss you now
Cindy had one blue eye
Cindy had one brown
One eye in the country
The other in the town
Get along home home Cindy
Get along home
Get along home home Cindy
I'm a gonna miss you now
She told me that she loved me
She called me sugar plum
She threw her arms around me
I thought my time had come
Get along home home Cindy
Get along home
Get along home home Cindy
I'm a gonna miss you now
Get along home home Cindy
Get along home
Get along home home Cindy
I'm a gonna miss you now

Song
History
From Wikipedia
Cindy (folk song)
Cindy is a rolicking American folk song and frolic tune. According to
John
Lomax , the song originated
in North Carolina. As with many
folk songs, each singer was free to add verses, and many
did. Cindy
was a particular favorite for this, with many ribald verses
added,
attesting to Cindy's amorous inclinations.

Old-Time, Song and Breakdown. USA; Arkansas, North Carolina,

Major (most versions):
G Major (John Brown). Standard or ADAE. AB
(Brody): AABB
(Phillips/1989 {the 'B' part is 'crooked' in
Phillip's version}): AA'BB
(Phillips, 1994).
A widely known frolic tune, appearing in many folk music collections
and even old elementary
school songbooks. The title appears in a list
of traditional Ozark Mountain fiddle tunes
compiled by musicologist/
folklorist Vance Randolph, published in 1954, and was recorded for
the Library of
Congress in 1939 by Mississippi fiddler John Brown.
A very popular
Cajun version of the tune, probably borrowed from
the American song, is
"J'etais au Bal" (I Went to the Dance Last Night).
Verses set
to the tune are many, including several "floaters": see here
