It was in the month of January and the hills were deep with snow When over hills and valleys my true love he did go It was there I spied a pretty young girl with a salt tear in her eye She held a baby in her arms and bitterly did cry. How cruel was my father to bar the door on me And how cruel was my mother this dreadful crime to see And how cruel was my own true love to forsake my love for gold And how cruel was that winters` night that pierced my heart with cold. For the taller that the palm tree grows the sweeter is the bark And the fairer that a young man speaks the falser is his heart He will kiss you and embrace you `til he thinks that he has won Then he`ll go away and leave you all for another one. I`ll go to the lonely valley and on my knees I`ll fall And there unto Almighty God for mercy I will call She kissed her baby`s cold white lips and she laid him by her side Then she raised her eyes to heaven and both lay down and died. |

I got the album on the strength of this track, and it's getting played to death in the car. Bill, please add "Autumn Tune" to the playlist while you're at it.

The fiddle style definitely sounds influenced by Dave Swarbrick of Fairport convention.
Good stuff ! A breath of fresh air.

Okay man, found it: "Paddy's Green Shamrock Shore" Paul Brady—exact same tune. Beautiful tune, maybe used for a few different old songs.

Okay - no distractions this time. I really do LIKE this song - especially the fiddle. It lends a rustic, earthy quality to the music and the vocals. Solid 7 from me.  |

yes it is a lot like "She Moved thru the Fair" it might be the same tune—-tho I can't hear the tune as well as I'd like to, maybe her song is low in the mix like the audiophiles are saying.
did you know Bob Dylan used tunes straight from Old British Isles songs and just changed all the words? "Nottamun Town" = "Masters of War" pretty interesting.

This tune is rather reminiscent of "She Moved Through the Fair", at least in some parts and to my old ears.
