This is a song that my great Grandmother used to sing to my Mother when she was a child-in the 30's. I know there are many more verses but I love Emmylou's version. It's beautiful!
A great version of a great old ballad. I first heard this version in the ending credits of the movie Songcatcher and have been searching for it since. Many thanks to the poster for finally getting it up.
I love Emmy Lou's version best not only because of her lovely voice, but every word of lyric is nice and clear. I love old ballads like these and sing them to myself at work to help pass the time. I finally have all the lyric to this one now. :)
I am a very big Emmy Lou fan as well as a lover of this song since I was young, too long ago. This is the first I have heard Emmy Lou's version. (How big a fan can I be?) Thank you for uploading it. Hearing it has made my day.
Simply beautiful ... the videography, the song, and of course, the angel voice of emmylou ... always liked artie garfunkel's version, but this is EMMYLOU !! Thanks so much for reintroducing me to this great song, and the video is just perfectly stunning. Wonderful!
