Subject: Lyr Add: EDWARD (from Chris Coe - Child #13) From: Roberto Date: 02 Aug 04 - 04:47 AM Edward as sung by Chris Coe. The version is from George Dunn's. I'm not sure of the last verse: Never till our sun sets on yon high tree And that will never never be. Can somebody check and help me? Thanks. Roberto Edward Chris Coe, A Wiser Fool, Backshift Music, BASH CD51, 2001 (George Dunn's version) What did you kill your own dear brother for? My boy, come tell it unto me For killing three little dicky birds That flew from tree to tree What will you do with your houses and your land? My boy, come tell it unto me I'll leave them all to my sister dear For they're no more use to me What will you leave your dear little brother now? My boy, come tell it unto me I'll leave him a rope to hang himself From yonder high high tree What will you do when your father comes home? My boy, come tell it unto me I'll place my foot on board a ship And sail to Amerikee When shall I see your dear dear face again? My boy, come tell it unto me Never till our sun sets on yon high tree And that will never never be |

The track I find most interesting on A Wiser Fool is Harvest Song on which Chris multitracks her voice in an adaptation of the story performance. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Chris Coe's Edward (Child #13) From: Roberto Date: 02 Aug 04 - 01:18 PM Thank you very much, Countess Richard. Yes, Harvest song is interesting, but I always feel more attracted by the traditional songs, and A Wiser Fool has many beautiful examples of them. I've read of a new CD, an EP, with Chris Coe singing a bit of Lowlands, and I'd like to hear that. In Rod Stradling's A Singer's Songbook, Chris Coe contributed a version of Silkie of Sule Skerry, that I wish she would record. Roberto |
