This is one of my very favorite folk songs, partly because, as an American living in Sweden, I can really relate to the lyrics. The feeling of longing back home is beautifully described in this lovely song.

I'm twenty three years old, have lived most of my life in the city plane. Except few years in the mountains; I have lived; the wilderness, the picturesque nature and astoundingly amazing life has engulfed me and has created an immense love and respect for the mountains. Your rendition to the song and the resplendent voice, asking me to go back to the mountains again and again. A grand like for this presentation. Thank you for sharing this song with us.

I play the John Renbourn acoustic guitar version but I wasn't aware that it could be sung... I thought it was an instrumental. Hauntingly and mystically beautiful lyrics. Thank you! Uplifts the soul.

Hello fellow Michigander! What a beautiful performance of this song!! I was looking for this song to share with my teen Americana/folk-pop singer-songwriter daughter Aspen. She has been supported by the Wheatland Music Organization's scholarship program to study traditional songs.
@Peggysmusic3 жыл бұрын
Hello Michigander! Thank you for your kind words. How exciting that your daughter is being supported by Wheatland's scholarship program! She's apparently a rising start in the folk arts and you have every right to be proud of that. I attended Wheatland's Dance Camp (usually on Memorial weekend) a couple of times, but the annual post-labor day festival many times. It's an amazing organization, so I wish your daughter all the best in her studies.

@Ryedor Thank you for your kind words! I usually sing this song with my band, O'Grejdi Nua (an Irish band in Sweden). This lovely song sounds much "fuller" with my fellow musicians as back-up and my instrumental break on flute. If you're interested to hear the "full" version with my band, go to our MySpace website and search for ogrejdi.
