Weird experiment... Including vocals... sorry about that :-/Charlie Mojo (Charles Kimbler) 3 string pot lid resonator guitar.Lyrics below are a short version of a traditional Appalachianmurder ballad of Irish origin:Down in the willow gardenWhere me and my love did meet,'Twas there we sat a courtingMy love dropped off to sleep.I had a bottle of the Burglar's wineWhich my true love did not know,And so I poisoned that dear little girlDown under the bank below.I stabbed her with a dagger,Which was a bloody knife,I threw her in the river,Which was a dreadful sight.My father often told meThat money would set me free,If I would murder that dear little girlWhose name was Rose Connelly.And now he sits in his own cottage door,A-wiping his weeping eye,And now he waits for his own dear son,Upon the scaffold high.My race is run beneath the sun,Lo, hell's now waiting for me,For I have murdered that dear little girlWhose name was Rose Connelly.
