I'm looking for a song title - I'm told it's an old tune and it contains the line "...she walks in (or through) pathways of dreams.

Any help would be much appreciated.

HAUD YOUR TONGUE DEAR SALLY written by Andy M Stewart

"Oh, hold your tongue, dear Sally, as I gang tae the town
And I'll buy for you a jaunting car and a braw white muslin gown
I'll buy for you a jaunting car and a braw white muslin gown
And likewise a bonnie wee lap dog tae follow your jaunting car"

"Oh, the de'il gang wi' your lap dog, you jaunting cars and all
For I'd rather hae a young man tae row me fae the wall
Oh, I'd rather hae a young man wi' no a penny at all
Before that I'd hae an old man tae row me fae the wall

"For your pipes they're never in order, your chanter's no in tune
And I wish that the devil would hae you and put a young man intae your room
I wish that the devil would hae you and put a young man intae your room
For I'd rather have a young man wi' no penny at all"

And now the old man's dead and gone, but he's left her a gey fee
He's left tae her ten thousand pounds and all of his lands sae free
He's left tae her ten thousand pounds and all of his lands sae free
And likewise a bonnie wee lap dog tae follow her jaunting car

Oh and now she's gotten her young man wi' no a penny at all
Aye now she's gotten her young man tae row her fae the wall
But he's smashed her china cups and saucers; aye, he's gone and broke them all
And he's killed her bonnie wee lap dog that followed her jaunting car

Dang, I didn't think to check here. Thanks, Mick.

Nice work on that song for the Dutch fellow. Took me about 45 seconds into the song before I realized the band was singing in English.

Thanks 999. That's the 3rd Chron Gen track I've transcribed for him over the last 12 months. I think even my broad definition of folk might exclude CG, but Mudcat has always tried to answer whatever requests come this way, 'folk' or not. I never mind transcribing even clear recordings for non-native speakers (and I've enjoyed quite a few collaborative efforts here on early blues and music-hall recordings, which are difficult even for native English speakers for different reasons). CG must be exceptionally hard for non-native speakers given the speed they sing at. This last one was harder than the other two tracks - the vocals seemed more lost in the instrumental. But using 3 different recordings, numerous varying eq and time-slowing I think I got a reasonable approximation to it!

I don't think it fits the folk category either, but it's people like you who make this site so valuable to so many other people. I think that kind of effort does more for world peace and understanding than gangs of political gabbing. Good on yer, Mick!
