Wow - I haven't heard this before. I just love sandy denny's voice. What a graet talent she had and this song really demonstrates it. Is she playing the guitar?

[ladysonja]

yes, she is :-) Greetings

How often haunting the highest hilltop I scan the ocean, a sail to see Will it come tonight, love, will it come tomorrow Or ever come, love, to comfort me A fhir an bháta, is na hó-ro eile O fare thee well, love, where'er thou be They call thee fickle, they call thee false one And seek to change me but all in vain Thou art my dream yet through the dark night And every moment I watch the main A fhir an bháta, is na hó-ro eile O fare thee well, love, where'er thou be

[hypoxide]

There's not a hamlet, too well I know it,

Where you go wandering or stay awhile

But all its old folk you win with talking

And charm its maidens with song and smile

A fhir an bháta, is na hó-ro eile

O fare thee well, love, where'er thou be

Doth thou remember the promise made me,

A token plaid, a silken gown

That ring of gold with your hair and portrait

That gown and ring I will never own

@rhagfirheulog She's a legend. Go to SandyDennyVideos youtube channel.

beautiful voice sandy was a brilliant interpreter of classic folk songs . check out her versions of tom paxtons ramblin boy and the last thing on my mind .  the johnstons recorded the definitive version of this tune though . the late lamented sandy and adrienne johnston are probably up in heaven singing rare melodies in perfect harmony

@hypoxide So many people have made me promises. Most of them forgot.

[martharoyce]

Such a shame she's dead. She was so good.

@wdobni This is not as good as Karen Mathieson & Capercaille's version but it's not a Vocal mess as You call it, But Karen Mathiesons version of Who Knows Where the Time Goes probably wouldn't be as good as Sandy Denny & Fairport Convention's version, Sandy Denny was a brilliant Singer/ Musician & Karen Still is,

@wdobni well said sir, she's no' karen matheson lol

[wdobni]

theres a song in this vocal mess somewhere....what a fkn trajedy for a great song

[aonghas100]

This song can not express itself so clearly as it does in the gaelic language in which it was written.I do enjoy the way Sandy Denny has done this..Moran taing a'shandaidh.
