I might be a bit late to enter this week but I'm very very time restricted in my life! Too many fingers in too many pies !
As I got to pick this week's theme I thought I'd definitely better enter and luckily I have the help of my wonderful friends @queenoftheworld and @audiohive-me to help me out with the music and the video editing and not only that but with actually uploading it to YouTube as I hit problem after problem my end. I definitely would not have been able to enter this week if it wasn't for the massive help from @audiohive-me , thanks Jim! You were very patient !
So this week's entry from me is another old Engkish folk song also covered by Steeleye Span, at tale of love dominated by material gain, a gold digging woman and a free spirited sailor.....The Saucy Sailor.
Enjoy!
"Come my own one, come my fair one,
Come now unto me,
Could you fancy a poor sailor lad
Who has just come from sea.
You are ragged love, you are dirty love,
And your clothes smell much of tar,
So be gone you saucy sailor lad,
So be gone you Jack Tar.
If I am ragged love and I am dirty love,
And my clothes smell much of tar,
I have silver in my pocket love
And gold in great store.
And then when she heard him say so
On her bended knees she fell,
I will marry my dear Henry
For I love a sailor lad so well.
Do you think that I am foolish love,
Do you think that I am mad,
For to wed with a poor country girl
Where no fortune's to be had?
I will cross the briny ocean,
I will whistle and sing,
And since you have refused the offer love
Some other girl shall wear the ring.
I am frolicsome, I am easy,
Good tempered and free,
And I don't give a single pin my boys
What the world thinks of me"

STOPAll those fingers in all those pies, mm. Sounds like life is tasty in your world. It's a pleasure hearing the three of you, as always. This one sounds particularly sweet in the vocals. Your voice is delightful, you know. These instruments accompany you with a gentleness and a pulse and a steadiness that allows your voice to stand above it all, utterly delicious. It is a real pleasure to get to know you all in this way. What a treat. So good. Thank you.
Thank you so much, that's very kind of you to say!
This was beautiful to hear - the combination of the instruments and your voice and the song was just perfection! Im sorry you have so many things in your life right now that are making things hectic ( i can totally relate) but so glad you took time out for our listening pleasure! hehehehe
Aww thank you!
