Come All Ye Fair And Tender Ladies (Maybelle Carter)

[hiramwilliams1]

Peter Rowan did a version of this song on The Prairie Home Companion (almost for sure inspired by this awesome rendition)...it was in 2-3 part harmony with twelve strings and equaled this one as closely as possible; she would have loved it; someone please find and up load it

the Irish version of this song is called A Bunch of Thyme. the melody is originally gaelic. erin go bragh!

[maddwillard]

i love bluegrass this shit is fire i would go check it out live in concert but i might get lynched.

@maddwillard Please. Traditional country people are delighted to share our common heritage. If I can hit the Apollo on amateur night you can make a country or bluegrass show, whowever you are.

[OneFifthNative]

Purity, purity, purity.

Like salve to my soul-- nothing like Mommy Maybelle. What a treasure this lady was-- truly what soulful, aching, mountain and Scottish highland music is supposed to sound like.

@captainsmith1 this song is from southern England not the Scottish highlands

[cruiscinlan]

@thelastamericandude irish, that is, not engish. my gran sang this in gaelic and said it was an old irish tune going back 300 years.
