What is the origin and meaning of the song 'turtle dove'? It has been recorded by the duhks on their CD Migrations. Also what is the specific meaning of the line in the chorus..."There's sasalido in salasaree"?

There is a previous thread on this - Click
- in which I posted a comment that Jody Stecher had from Bessie Jones about the curious line.

I have been told that "sasalido in salasaree" is actual angel speech. Who knows?

Guest (Stewie)'s link above doesn'y go anywhere FOR ME, but a Google search on the line in the chorus gives https://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=35605 which reads fine.

Tried to make a blue clicky, but testing it gave me a 404. Not sure what is going on....

Try this:

Origin: Turtledove Done Drooped His Wings

.... when doing Mudcat links, the clickifier drops the leading "https:" and one "/" for some reason.
