Thanks Ken its nice if you to say so and thanks John tooTim I hope John P and John H's posts have helpedI'm trying to avoid tab theses days when learning new stuff but it can lead to mistakes or new 'versions' as some people have kindly said!I knew the song as 'Old Reuben' only fairly recently played on banjo mainly but it seemed to cry out for a good sliding noter. I don't think I got enough of that but I enjoyed playing it and I'm still working on itI think learning new stuff is part what you hear and part what you feel( and think you hear!)Good luck with this one Tim!

Thanks Steve, I always look forward to your videos. Well played 113.gif

@Tim.

Are you asking for noter/drone TAB ?

This song is a bit of a floater, with varying titles, varying tunes and varying words, depending on the singer.

I had a look on Google and this is the closest I found to Steve's version.
Steve has expanded the chorus line, so not exactly the same.

I've TABed it for Dorian(DAG), but it plays just as well in Aeolian(DAc) if you adjust the TAB by subtracting 3.

Hi Tim, there are several versions posted on this site, including a noter/drone attempt by me ! (not sure whether it can fulfills your notion of 'True Noter Drone' ?)

JCKThis was the 5.03 from Widnes Cheshire. Which train were you waiting for? :-)Maybe Reuben had more than one train?Though maybe I need to listen to a few more versions a little closer!I got down something I thought I heard and added a bit. I had fun with itI'm still having an interesting time trying to keep my ET on my lap she's so light so this time I tried her on the table where I guess she's meant to be?JK - Glad you liked it

Nice job, Steve! Sounds different than the "normal" Reuben's Train.
