When this was first released, I thought it one of the most beautiful songs ever. Still do, and still blown away by Julie.

The beginnings of American Bluegrass music are in the traditional music of Scotland and Ireland. And this song is the best example of the Scot/Irish heritage in Bluegrass. It is always good to remember our roots.

Keelmeister this song is most likely English maybe Scottish. Definitely not Irish.

Shane Rone Close. It's from the Ulster Scots, who were originally from Ireland. They are the origin of the vast majority of American Traditional music. After being kicked out of Scotland by the English, they lived in Northern Ireland for a few generations before moving on to Appalachia in America.

I pretty much just said the exact same thing on another thread of her "touch the sky" song haha. American bluegrass is totally rooted in Celtic heritage. Im from Nova Scotia in Canada and we hold on to our Celtic roots and play this music all the time. Grew up with fiddle, guitars, pianos, and accordion style Celtic music. Cape Breton, Nova Scotia actually has its on unique style of celtic fiddle playing compared to anywhere else in the world. Love it

Wonderful! Bruce Molsky is a treasure. Julie Fowlis sings beautifully. And what makes this even more special is the great Phil Cunningham on bouzouki, Ali Bain on second fiddle, and Jerry Douglas on dobro. What a group!

For many americans a surname does little to trace heritage. We are a mixed up lot and because of that a lot of history is lost. My family on both sides was here before the revolution and I descend from Scottish, Irish, German, Cherokee Indian and who knows what else! I am proud of my lineage because of how uniquely American it is. At the same time, I sympathize with those like me who can't trace roots to a particular place.

Their voices blend so well. What a thoroughly delightful rendition. I first came to know Bruce Molsky many years ago in a small golf club in Bathurst, N.S.W., Australia. His songs, his style, his talent, it was all just so unexpected for that part of the world, (small, Aussie, country town that it was), at that time :-) It was a revelation, for me.

Before hearing this song, I had never been touched so deeply by music. Not because it is the best lyrically, but because it resonates in my soul.

Iam from Hungary in Europe and very much fond of Anglo-Saxon folk-music. Many thanks for Bruce Molsky. It is very good indeed. And the vocal with Julie Fowlis is graet as well.

Beautiful tempo so endearing this song and great to find out how old it is..According to a site there is another verse left out that is stunning as well. Such a great assembly of musicians. Looking down the posts I am astonished that people want it played faster it is perfect here. Guess they are used to bluegrass where everything is speed up. This is a dance tempo not a fast clogging song. They must be real young

I agree. Myaraofthemist's post was to lament not knowing his/her ancestry, which is why I mentioned it. Each generation creates diversity. We are all genetically complex beings. The test is inexpensive if one's desire to know part of one's heritage is important. It is only a part. Knowing a part of one's heritage does not prevent enjoying the diversity of what the world's population brings, such as Julie Fowlis! One can do both - enjoy cultural diversity and investigate one's heritage.

The lyrics as they are singing them here... As time draws near my dearest dear when you and I must part. But little you know of the grief and awe of my poor aching heart. Each night I suffer for your sake. You're the girl I love so dear, I wish that I was going with you or you was staying here. The blackest crow that ever flew will surely turn to white. If ever I prove false to you bright day be turned to night. Bright day be turned to night my love, the elements will mourn. If ever I prove false to you the seas would rage an burn. And when you're on some distant shore think of your absent friend. And when the wind blows high and clear a line to me please send. And when the wind blows high and clear please send your love to me. That I might know by your hand write how time has gone with thee.
