Well originally an english northern song fron the XVI/XVII th century called " The kye's (cows) in the meadow ", The sheep's in the corn, Thy o'erlang in thy bed, Bonny at morn, Canny at neet, ... The bird's in their nest, and the troot's in the burn ; thy hinders thy mother at every turn. Canny at neet, bonny at morn. ... We're all laid idle Wi' keepin' in the bairn ; The lad will not work and the lass will not lairn ..."

yea...I know what you mean...good song...I'm working on Everybody Knows...Leonard Cohen...a great one...Exile Productions'sheriff though, along with YouTube told me to take down the pirate copy of Van Morrison's " It Stoned Me " so I did and I took down the Dylan song " As I Went Out One Morning ". But this one is more like a Public Domain song methinks.
I tried 'desperately' to find the extraordinary Collins doing this song.
Linked to google, to UTube .... etal.
Got to a German site.
I can only imagine her ...
her interpretation.
I have discs of the familys of the Irish tenors trying songs like 'Singing Bird' and 'Gypsy Rover'.
Charming. But not soul shattering like the Celt males. Collins...
Collins on the other hand.....
I will find it C6. Thank you.

hmmm...the Van Morrison song I missed somehow. Was it a cover? You playing the song? too bad. i thought it was okay to perform covers of songs.
OriginalScratch 3 years ago
apparently not...but it makes sense...really...just like one is not entitled to put out a cover, on a cd say, without paying the royalties
