Steep Canyon Rangers - Harvest Queen

Copied!

It's a day's walk on blacktop from here any way that you choose
Stand still for too long and the wind piles the dust on your shoes
If you call me handsome and I call you beautiful
If we keep saying those words it might just come true, who knows

So lay your hand in mine
And waltz me in the cradle of three-quarter time
Come wipe this dust bowl clean, Harvest Queen

We grew up never knowing we were children of the worst hard times
Where the wind held us down every time we thought we might fly
And the steel in your eyes is a little too familiar to me
Then I catch my reflection and I know what you wish we might be

So lay your hand in mine
And waltz me in the cradle of three-quarter time
Come wipe this dust bowl clean, Harvest Queen

I go between praying for rain and staying out of the wind
Am I such a fool as to trust all this dry dust again
I still dream of a horse in the stable and hay in the barn
Four chairs ‘round a table and a song and you in my arms

So lay your hand in mine
And waltz me in the cradle of three-quarter time
Come wipe this dust bowl clean
Come wipe this dust bowl clean
Harvest Queen

The Steep Canyon Rangers are a progressive bluegrass band that was formed in Chapel Hill, North Carolina in 1999. The band was initially comprised of Graham Sharp on banjo and harmony vocals, Woody Platt on guitar and lead vocals, and Charles R. Humphrey III on bass and harmony vocals. The trio met while attending the University of North Carolina and bonded over their shared love of acoustic music.

As they began playing impromptu jam sessions together, the group found themselves drawn to the traditional sounds of bluegrass music. Their sound continued to evolve when mandolin player Mike Guggino joined the band, bringing with him a wealth of experience and a deep love for the genre.

The band's big break came in 2009 when actor and banjo player Steve Martin joined forces with them, giving them a major boost in popularity. The collaboration with Martin helped bring the Steep Canyon Rangers to a wider audience, allowing them to showcase their unique blend of traditional bluegrass and modern influences.

With their impressive musicianship and heartfelt songwriting, the Steep Canyon Rangers have become a staple in the bluegrass music scene. They continue to tour and record music, captivating audiences with their energetic performances and infectious sound.
