All so very.interesting indeed, so glad to have caught onto. Shirley Collins, I haven’t stopped listening to her since I came across her. But ,having been listening to Shirley, I have never stopped listening to folk, and folk rock. Highly talented musicians, such as Ashley Hutchins, The Albion Country Band are just awesome.
This stopped me in my tracks. Stunningly beautiful. Shades of Nico, Nick Drake and Robert Wyatt! This is the highest compliment I can give. Shirley Collins is wonderful. Leave it to Domino, my favorite label. Always bringing the goods. Thanks for this gem.
I'm so happy to have just discovered Shirley. This song is profoundly moving and I love the imagery of the corn dollies, the horses, the bird nesting in the skull and Shirley's kind face.
I am so excited for this new album! Absolutely love all these songs. How enchanting. Hope there will be a tour planned! That's probably asking too much. Very very moved and touched and happy!
So moving, so beautiful. Was not aware of this new release till I heard her fascinating interview on this podcast: The Quietus Hour. Highly recommend to lovers of Ms. Collins.
Great! As I walked out one morn in May The birds did sing and the lambs did play, The birds did sing and the lambs did play; I met an old man, I met an old man by the way. His head was bald, his beard was grey, His coat was of a myrtle shade, I asked him what strange countryman, Or what strange place, Or what strange place he did belong. “My name is Death, cannot you see? Lords, dukes and ladies bow down to me. And you are one of those branches three, And you fair maid, And you fair maid must come with me.” “I'll give you gold and jewels rare, I'll give you costly robes to wear, I'll give you all my wealth in store, If you'll let me live, If you'll let me live a few years more.” “Fair lady, lay your robes aside, No longer glory in your pride. And now, sweet maid, make no delay, Your time is come, Your time is come and you must away.” And not long after this fair maid died; “Write on my tomb,” the lady cried, “Here lies a poor distressed maid, Whom Death now lately, Whom Death now lately hath betrayed.”
One of the true giants. Sad that she could not find a way to record music through all those quiet years, but I understand it. Nonetheless, her legacy is greatness.
So refreshing to see a traditional folk song with a full video shot for it! I've been trawling for hours. This is incredibly arresting.

Andy Trullinger Do you know the NO ROSES album by Shirley with The Albion Country Band?
Fantastic!
Great bottleneck guitar!
The Source and like water to a person dying of thirst in these times of plastic pop and media untruths. So happy to find this Lady singing again.
russ miller Right?!?
Fabulous Shirley , lovely music. Oh Death may chase us, but there's a merry dance we may play before he comes calling
The merry dance can go on for long.

Yes!! Great video for an impressive song.
So beautifully resung. Lovely film too
Magnificent in it's quiet, haunting beauty. Shirley, I love you! Wonderful, as ever!
What a beautiful rendition, it goes even deeper than the 1970 version
Saw her at the Roundhouse about 18 months ago.....admire her so much!!
Stunning piece of art, wonderful folk music, more than a hint of a chuckle in there too.

As I walked out one morn in May
The birds did sing and the lambs did play,
The birds did sing and the lambs did play;
I met an old man,
I met an old man by the way.
His head was bald, his beard was grey,
His coat was of a myrtle shade,
I asked him what strange countryman,
Or what strange place,
Or what strange place he did belong.
“My name is Death, cannot you see?
Lords, dukes and ladies bow down to me.
And you are one of those branches three,
And you fair maid,
And you fair maid must come with me.”
“I'll give you gold and jewels rare,
I'll give you costly robes to wear,
I'll give you all my wealth in store,
If you'll let me live,
If you'll let me live a few years more.”
“Fair lady, lay your robes aside,
No longer glory in your pride.
And now, sweet maid, make no delay,
Your time is come,
Your time is come and you must away.”
And not long after this fair maid died;
“Write on my tomb,” the lady cried,
“Here lies a poor distressed maid,
Whom Death now lately,
Whom Death now lately hath betrayed.”
His hair was white, his beard was grey*
Wonderful!
Astonishing.
beautiful
Wonderful
Read about her in MOJO magazine. My first try, it won't be my last.I must get the album.
magic
Hermosa canción, maravillosa mujer, triste despedida...
Bravo!
And now I seriously want a bird to lay eggs in my skull when I'm gone.
Brilliant.
Wonderful. It brought tears to my eyes. Where is the charnel house? Is it Hythe Kent?
Go Shirley!!!
One of the true giants. Sad that she could not find a way to record music through all those quiet years, but I understand it. Nonetheless, her legacy is greatness.
😘happy new year 👑

What tuning is this in?
Brill.
Isn't the charnel house in Cambodia?
Who's the guitarist?
Ian Kearey - musical director for Lodestar, and Shirley's new album Heart's Ease, out 24th July.
I would love to learn this is there any tab or sheet music
Well filmed and performed, but isn’t it odd that among all the credits the musicians playing it are not mentioned.
My name is death
Can not you see
@ColoredSpaces

Well, different...yea..Good.
Thinking.......... ..

Great version and very moving. If you like this check out Jonny Cash's version of 'Hurt' it had the same effect on me.
