@BrittGuy08 Click on the link to my website in the information box, then "My Folk Songs", then "American Songs". You will find the chords with the lyrics there.

Very good!

Thanks.

[raymondcrooke]

Yes, that's probably a bit of a myth. Thanks for dropping by.

[SirCoughsalot]

Really really beautiful. I can understand why this one would make soldiers want to desert... It certainly would have that effect on me, although I'm sure it wouldn't take much... Boy, I can sure ramble on, eh?

Was that you playing the fiddle at the beginning? That was terrific!

[raymondcrooke]

Yes, I thought a bit of fiddle might add something to the atmosphere of it. It was a last minute decision and I was dressed for bed, so I only used the audio.

[clattybrown2]

This really has that American civil war feel to it my friend

Way to go, I like it Thanks

[mktmic7]

great post here my friend*******

[raymondcrooke]

Thank you, Mike.

[blinddrunkal]

Raymond, you are truly one of the best sources of traditional/folk music and song. Thanks for all the information, and your great versions of these songs! All the best :o) Alan

[raymondcrooke]

Thanks, Alan. Your channel is also an excellent source of traditional songs.

Greetings Raymond... Whenever I view a folk song performance by other You Tube luminaries,there is no need to search for a possible rendition of your own. All this requires is a gander to my right at this amazing You Tube feature known as Related Videos,and 98% of the time,yours will appear there. I've arrived at the conclusion that if your mission here is to enlighten,revive and perpetuate the folk song idiom and promote the process,then you have far exceeded in that goal.

Pax,

Max

[raymondcrooke]

Greetings, Max. Actually, if you don't see it in Related Videos, it doesn't mean I haven't done it. They don't always turn up there. Thanks for your support.

[jayrbee60]

Ah yes... wonderful song! Wonderful job and I did not know the history of this song (nor the Wildwood Flower - I thought that was a Carter family song)

[raymondcrooke]

Well, they pretty much made it their own. I'll be putting up a rendition of the original soon.
