Mary Hamilton

[@rtsaldivar]

No offense Reina, but I’m in love with Alana’s sweet voice! Hope you go to Italy more often to hear her again. 😃

[@goranjacobson3696]

Two wonderful beauties singing and playing an old beautiful Scottish folksong, in a beautiful and fantastic Italian town, whatever can one ever wish! An extremely excellent performance!!!!! Warmest Thanks!!!!! Goran, Sweden

[@zymmer4]

Is there nothing you can't do??Elle..your friends are world Class !!!

*LYRICS* ------------ Word is to the kitchen gone And word is to the hall And word is up to Madam, the Queen And that's the worst of all That Mary Hamilton's borne a babe To the highest Stuart of all Arise, arise Mary Hamilton Arise and tell to me What thou hast done with thy wee babe I saw and heard weep by thee I put him in a tiny boat And cast him out to sea That he might sink or he might swim But he'd never come back to me Arise, arise Mary Hamilton Arise and come with me There is a wedding in Glasgow town This night we'll go and see She put not on her robes of black Nor her robes of brown But she put on her robes of white To ride into Glasgow town And as she rode into Glasgow town The city for to see The bailiff's wife and the provost's wife Cried, alack and alas for thee Ah you need not weep for me, she cried You need not weep for me For had I not slain my own wee babe This death I would not dee Ah little did my mother think When first she cradled me The lands I was to travel in And the death I was to dee Last night I washed the Queen's feet And put the gold in her hair And the only reward I find for this The gallows to be my share Cast off, cast off my gown, she cried But let my petticoat be And tie a napkin 'round my face The gallows I would not see Then by them come the King himself Looked up with a pitiful eye Come down, come down Mary Hamilton Tonight you'll dine with me Ah hold your tongue my sovereign leige And let your folly be For if you'd a mind to save my life You'd never have shamed me here Last night there were four Marys Tonight there'll be but three It was Mary Beaton and Mary Seton And Mary Carmichael and me

[@examinaitudoretendeobem]

Thank you!

[@Charlie-fx9dp]

Yes thank for lyrics of the song... From France.

[@dowadiddy2002]

Nailed it! I habe done this song and was listening to the Joan Baez version when I was a kid many years ago. Sad song.

[@pcatful]

Everything about this is wonderful: RDC, a beautiful new singer (hope to hear more of Alana), nice guitar picking and tone, Venician room looks so classic, English - American accents...

[@radicalcenter3902]

Superb, and beautiful Venice.

[@Freshacre]

This is a real old favourite here in UK, and particularly in Scotland - and as with so many Irish and Scottish folk songs it has a beautiful and deceptively simply tune to carry the words. This is a wonderful, authentic rendition and it was really good to hear you, Reina, singing in your upper register - so pure, so clear. The “harp” accompaniment was a stroke of genius, and it never wavered. However, saving the best to last, the way your voices melded together was a triumph and gave the song’s delivery an even greater power and depth just when it mattered. Quite, quite superb girls - a lovely bothy-style ballad sung as it should be sung. Thanks.

[@hassammahmoodq]

did Hamish Imlach sing this? and can I find it ? :S

[@jseymourguenther6527]

“Harp” a little hot in the mix, tho

[@gerrybonshor4150]

@@jseymourguenther6527 on my computer i heard no harp. i heard a very clean guitar and 2 voices. 2 fine voices. perhaps we dont get the same things. any how they are good enough

[@carlosfrusto3322]

Cooper Discupame el acompañamiento de Reina no es de (arpa)es una de las tantas variantes de tocar acompañandose mediante arpejios...

[@carlosfrusto3322]

Cooper también un detalle es que reina no usa púa y también toca a dedo pues no tiene uñas en los dedos de la mano derecha y el sonido es como si sonara un arpa te lo digo pues asi tocan los Paraguayos el arpa y suena de ésa manera me encuentro muy serca de Paraguay soy de ARGENTINA Y los e visto tocar y es su instrumento típico por naturaleza...

[@ascetic3312]

Alana has a very classic sounding folk singer voices. Almost Judy Collins sounding. Nice job, ladies.

[@HenryVandenburgh]

Better.

[@bolark60]

Made an old man shamelessly cry. Bless you both.

[@mattrader4910]

Reina with guitar is a shiny gold. Alana's voice (and looks) is shimmering ruby! They're both precious!

[@mattzliljedahl9747]

Wonderful mix of voices, Alana and Reina is perfect😊

[@timhill1879]

Your friend Alana has a beautiful voice and well suited to that folk song... well done to you both!

[@scottlamb486]

Matty Groves, Fairport Convention and Who Knows Where The Time Goes, And that too was splendid.

[@docben1541]

I agree. Sandy Denny!!!

[@58618388]

Beautiful Harmonies

[@northcountryhermit5057]

The 4 Mary... There was Mary Beaton, and Mary Seaton, Mary Charmichael and me. Glad to see you getting into the Scottish folk tunes! Welcome! You are a joy to listen to, both of you! :) #thecorries

[@Julia-ei8oe]

I think this is my favorite video on the Internet.

[@alkinboo]

Thanks for helping to keep the Folk Tradition alive...

[@debbiedrey3482]

So beautiful and so mournful.

[@russellmcghee9100]

Beautiful melody. Very good version.

[@soulsharts]

I like songs that tell a story. Apparently this is an old song from what I gather from the comments, but I've never heard it before, and it was good to hear.

[@steveroberts8719]

You girls are fantastic and Alana has one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard. And Reina, yours ain't so bad either. Loved this song ever since I heard Joan Baez included it one of her early 1960s recording. I hope she tunes in once in a while for she would be proud of you girls Thanks for carrying it on.

[@copperbear8310]

Reina is great, missed Toni. Alana has a great voice. Harmony at 3:25 dropped my jaw.

[@slotplayer50]

So very beautiful, thanks.

[@JavaRatusso]

Some 35 years since I was there in Venezia... Thank God it's only been a week since I enjoyed you Reina! Alana... Wow... You sing beautifully as well... Love the ethnic authenticity that flavored this folk song... I would have likewise loved it had you spoken a few words. You know how much Americans love your accent. Just lovely!

[@taurusman67]

Beautiful..Thanks for doing Sunday mornings....from..Ottawa Canada...Peter

[@chrisofnottingham]

A fabulous treat to hear you do a British folk song - there are plenty more where that came from!

[@williiayummjay]

one only imagine the magic you two could produce together, a capella.

[@tedbownas2748]

Old-time folk song and nylon strings; a double change of pace. 😁 Lovely song- well done. 👍

[@jerrypruden887]

Nice job

[@lptomtom]

You can feel her right hand getting tired as the song goes on, fingerpicking is a pretty good workout!

[@cjamachado]

Beautiful voices.

[@WilFreeD68]

Mademoiselle Alana, vous êtes très belle et votre voix est douce comme le parfum des fleurs au printemps.. Miss Alana , you are really beautiful and your voice is sweet like the fragrance of flowers at springtime...

[@Labrys67]

Wow ..beautiful...your singing and the view!

[@massimocampagna3715]

Fantastic. I know that place, when I was a street artist in Venice, I always passed by that bridge.

[@melvinlee5684]

Great picking and singing from a very beautiful young lady. I had to push the repeat button on this several times.

[@markuffindell2675]

A lovely rendition of a very beautiful song- thank you.

[@lindagrapes8044]

WOW... Alana what a beautiful voice and Reina awesome as always!!!!! Much Love

[@cirimaxg651]

Charm, music and harmony of absolute peace. Thank you.

[@mikemitchell9227]

Amazing. I wish I could like this more than once. KZbin needs another level of like.

[@Jeff-jg7jh]

I almost forgot to like but reminded me so it's half yours.

[@DavesCoverSongs]

Nice “roll” on that guitar. Beautiful vocals too.

[@JurBols477]

Had to wait a while patiently for the harmonics but then..... whaow goosebumps!!!

[@Hottiedonkey]

You mean harmonies, not harmonics.

[@Charlie-fx9dp]

What a nice duet... Excellent, really... From France.

[@1959ticktock]

Stunning. Two voices perfectly matched.

[@compass4853]

Beautiful! Wonderful! - On all levels. Alana and you have magic together. Thanks for sharing your adventures. Happy trails Reina!

[@InXring]

The wide range in the types of music you perform continues to amaze me--you do it all so well & make it all seem so easy & natural. I have to say I missed Toni's talented instrumental breaks this week, but Alana's beautiful voice certainly helped make up for it.

[@freejulianassange537]

Not sure how I missed this one so far but wonderful that it's given new life here. A special venue and a special rendition indeed!

[@kimurino]

Moved by you two ladies beautiful singing voice. Long time eliminated the sadness and made it the lyrics of this folk ballad song. You are in Italy, please enjoy your journey. From Japan with love good luck.

[@drmeisel]

Also, must be nice to have such friends in so many places. Blessings.

[@stevederebey]

What a beautiful song, sung by two beautiful people! Thank you for the happiness this morning

[@schwamar]

My heavens what a beautiful voice Alana. I hope to hear more from you. 😀

[@markstaggs7342]

Wonderful could not even be better

[@Zeckellin]

Great job girls. Alana, what a clear, lovely voice you have! And Reina is perfect as usual.

[@EtcEtcEtcFilms]

Alana has a incredible voice! Compliments Reina very well! Great video.

[@edoardoaudisio7376]

Wonderful! Classic celtic ballads. Great performance and iterpretation

[@favfern1]

The classic version of the "Four Marys" is the one by Joan Baez, but this version must come a close second! Very well done --- and great guitar pickin'.

[@jeffm5808]

i love watching Elle's fingers picking the strings

[@christianemaasjost]

Two very beautiful voices!

[@tistab]

Loved the guitar.

[@ES-ge7bb]

So beautiful. You gals did a splendid performance. Thank you.

[@janicefreeman6304]

That was so exquisite ladies. You sing beautifully together and particularly the harmonies. I knew that folk song from many years ago in South Africa and always remembered the words. It is touching and emotional. Thanks for your gorgeous rendition. Loved it. BTW have never heard it sang by anyone else other than Joan Baez.

[@road_star_go]

I started this morning with your song.❤

[@mikegray-ehnert3238]

Your friend Alana has a great set of pipes! Good to hear such an accomplished new voice, at least new to these ears!

[@Joe-eb2bj]

hi really lovely song well done to u both ,Alana has a very lovely voice BRAVOto u both.

[@diegodelbosquedelnorte]

Just when I thought it couldn't get any better you got into the two part harmonies. Arm hairs standing! Outstanding work! Enjoy your time in Europe!

[@stevenfriedrich3294]

Beautyful! You made a wonderful sunny summerday in Argentina to a day of diamonds. Thank you so much!

[@johnshore6318]

[@rjvandermark7642]

That Was BEAUTIFUL...! All of it. Thank You

[@luzrucci5534]

Italy is in my blood...nylon strings needed for this folk song. Well done and your friend Alana has a beautiful voice . Miss the view...

[@gigimoore3738]

Nice harmonies! Beautiful view. My Mom would have been jealous. As a world traveler, Venice was her favorite!

[@gregglockhart9551]

Beautiful, good singer too!

[@werewolf5674]

Great job. Love you picking the gatar. Awsome.

[@gglund1790]

What a great version. Thank you ever so much, Alana and Reina!

[@linnzeelastname7653]

That finger picking just flows like honey!

[@jeffm5808]

finger picking is so fluid

[@hangdogit]

Yes, it does. Songs in 6/8 time like this -- sequences of six, short, eigths-notes per measure) tend to sound very good on guitar.

[@DanMuntean]

Beautiful folk ballad and wonderful duet interpretation ! Congratulations! Great like ! Best wishes from Austria !

[@barrybanjo]

Terrific she has quite a voice

[@PioRambo]

The sweet sonorous drops of a perfect Sunday summer. Thank you for your efforts to propose every Sunday us with this pearls. Hugs from South of Brazil.

Excellent! The realness of Reina and her friends is indeed a rare treat on the web. Thank you for all you do, Reina. From Fargo!

[@bolark60]

Delightful and soul melting voices. Thank you to you both.

[@Marksomali]

Wow! That was so touching that I wept.

[@louisdewien958]

Thank you Reina and Alana... A very nice song. Hope I can go to one of your concerts in Europe ! Go on !

[@mikebristow1661]

Thanks for bringing me to tears. Beautifully done.

[@paulclaridge9296]

Wow... simply beautiful and beautifully performed. Your voices really compliment each other. See you in London in a few weeks Reina.

Bravo to Reina and Alana. Beautiful.

[@drjay555]

Beautiful song, beautiful voices. Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@cadwalladee01]

Buongiorno! Spaghetti! Ravioli! (All the Italian I know...) Lovely, sad tune - change of pace - it fits the cold snowy winds blowing outside my window today (Harper)... and yet - the video of the both of you is bright and cheerful... life is full of contradictions... sometimes pleasant, like this.

[@Irv-px5sh]

You're good at choosing songs that are pleasant to hear...thank you

[@markschafer1828]

Bellissimo!! RIP Mama mia Aida Amalia Pacchioni-Corradi Schafer..orig from Mirandola Prov di Modena...Beautiful as always Reina😍😊

[@davidmorse8432]

What a treasure this is! Thank you ladies. Sad story but well done.

[@Brandtstifter1]

I'm standing on my chair cheerin' up for days. The lyrics, beautiful sung. The guitar, awesome plus x!

[@suzannelawson9215]

Does your friend, Alana know an Italian folk singer named, Valeria Caucino? She also has a beautiful voice and covers a lot of Joan Baez songs. She has many folk CD's.

[@terryparkinson7267]

Absolutely gobsmacked .Been a fan for awhile but this was outstanding.Cheers.
