This is so pretty, wish I could hear your voice a bit better but gosh I love the calm, soft way this is played. Learning myself now and would love to play pretty fair damsel this way :)

[@chickenindoubleC]

Thank you so much, that is so kind! Thank you for listening. I'm working on audio recording and projecting better without losing the softness. Please give it a shot, it's a great song to play! I have another video where you might be able to see my hands more easily to learn!

Pretty fair damsel out in the garden a strange young man came riding by he rode up to the gate to greet her said: "Pretty fair miss, would you be my bride?" "I have a true love in the army and he’s been gone these seven long years and if he stays gone seven longer no other man can marry me" "Perhaps he’s in some ocean drownded perhaps he’s on some battlefield slain perhaps he’s to some fair girl married my pretty fair miss, you’ll never see him again" "Well if he’s drowned I hope he’s happy or if he’s on some battlefield slain or if he’s to some fair girl married I’ll love the girl that married him" Well he slid down from off his saddle and from his finger drew a ring "I am your true and loving soldier I have come home to marry thee" Arm in arm, they walked together down to the church on their wedding day they joined their hands, and hearts together the soldier boy and his fair young maid.
