One of the better efforts. Great voice. Try DADGAD it'll blend with your voice way better. Stan would like it.



[Acheyltus]

Slower...but yeah.

[MrThefridler]

@Pangael this song is filled with the Tuatha de Dannan. Love it all

[Pangael]

Love this song! Notice that the knight carries a silver sword - not iron - and a rowan shield. He talks to animals and they to him. Is he even human or one of the Tuatha de Dannan? Fisher absolutely nailed Joseph Campbell. And Jesse, you nailed this song.

[chrissept21]

one of my favorite to play 

[BobTheWhistler]

Good one, Jesse. Stan would be proud.

@jeff61177 Thanx for the lyrics 8-)

[jeff61177]

And she's bound his wounds with the goldenrod, full fast in her arms he

lay,

And he has risen hale and sound with the sun high in the day.

She said "Ride with your brindled hounds at heel, and your good grey hawk

in hand,

There's none can harm the knight who's lain with the Witch of the

Westmereland."
