I'm looking to see if anyone recognizes the song featured at the end of this video: Youtube link
The lyrics are, to my ear, as follows:

They come and go
The ones I know
They say to me
You're a fool
To be standing here all alone

...and then the clip fades out. Searching for those lyrics didn't get me any results here or on Google, and Shazam is stumped. The singers sound kinda Kingston Trio, so I thought I'd ask here.
Does anyone have any leads?

Nothing resonates for me.

Nothing for me either. It's a very short clip which makes it difficult to search the lyrics.

I looked up Dylan Hollis, the video presenter, and he lives in Bermuda so that might be a clue to the music.

And, there is no way I am going to try those whacky beef recipes he talks about. Yeah? Nuh!

Is it worth contacting Dylan to ask about the song?

He does have an interest in music.
And he has a collection of old records.

"In 2014, he moved to Laramie, Wyoming, to attend the University of Wyoming, where his longstanding fascination with mid–20th-century American culture led him to study 1940s big band jazz, as well as purchase and daily-drive a 1963 Cadillac Series 62, which he named "Ernest".
He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Music in 2021."

Thanks for the extra info, FreddyHeadey. I'll check out the links.

BTW the beef recipes were strange e.g. beef chocolate brownies, and sugar coated beef meatballs. Wha-a-a-t?!! He wasn't overly enthusiastic about them. I think he was just presenting them as strange culinary curiosities.

Someone has to say it: Maybe AI?

I've sent an email to Dylan, but I don't know how regularly he checks those. I was assuming some old record but maybe not. I don't know for sure his views on AI, but from general vibes I'd bet on original composition over AI.

Yes Nathaniel, I agree. Why would a musician with a music degree create a song using AI? It doesn't make sense to me.

Got an answer to my email! Per Dylan:

It’s actually a record of my grandfather and his band in the 60s. It’s a song called “waiting in the rain”. I recorded it directly from the turntable pickup. While it’s likely only in physical media these days, you’re free to look him and his band up: “The Travellers of Bermuda”.

Thanks everyone who tried to help!

Thanks Nathaniel,

It's good that Dylan replied to you. He might also be interested in the search results I found.

The Travellers of Bermuda

"The Travellers of Bermuda have remained one of Bermuda's most popular bands for almost the past four decades. The band began as a trio, patterned after the Kingston Trio, and performed at the island's hotels on a regular basis. They mainly played the well-known folk music of the time, sometimes changing the words to reflect the current goings-on of the island to provide a humorous tone to their performance.

"The members of the original band all played acoustical guitars but, in 1973, decided to mix in some modern electrical sounds and include a drummer who could also add another voice to the group. That's where I came in.

"I had been playing with another very popular local group, The Silvertones, for a couple of years when I was asked to join The Travellers. Two of the guys in The Silvertones had decided to move to the U.S. to see if the grass was really greener there so the timing for me to relocate to the new group was right.

"For the remainder of the '70s, The Travellers continued to do their show at all the major hotels, and at many local functions as well, with the added benefit of being able to provide some dance music before and after. The reaction to this new format was extremely positive and the band enjoyed a rather hectic schedule during those years.

"Then came the '80s and the three original members of the band decided to retire, one by one, leaving me to keep the band going. I invited two of the guys from The Silvertones to join me again and we found another person to round out the group. The band became, solely, a dance group and we found ourselves playing virtually every week of the year either at hotel conventions or for various clubs throughout the island.

"Finally, at the end of 1990, I decided to also retire but that only lasted for about one year. Several people, who attended many of the functions for which we played, kept bugging me to return to the music scene and so I did. It was certainly nice to have a rest, though, after so many years of playing.

"The Travellers only play, on average, about two times a month now and that makes it more fun. All four of us have full-time jobs during the day so it's nice not to have to spend our spare time making noise at some function or other each week, as in the past. Three of us like to get together to play golf (or our interpretation of it!) once in awhile, so it works out just fine."

The track called Waiting in the Rain on one of the single records could be the one you are looking for but I am having trouble finding it because there are other more recent songs with similar titles by other artists. Credits for the song show it was written two of the band members, John H. White and Robin Spencer-Arscott.

John White
from obit 2013
Along with Joe Pimental and Robin Spencer-Arscott, Mr White formed The Travellers[1961], a folk band that performed throughout the Island’s hotels during the 1960s.
,,,
And when Mr White eventually left The Travellers, that blend of music and humour inspired him to create another show that became a “must-see” event.
First performed in 1972, The Um Um Show combined hit songs by an accomplished band of professional musicians, interspersed with sketches that took irreverent swipes at the politicians of the day. Mr White, a talented guitar and banjo player, wrote most of the material and performed in the band.
