    THE WORLD IS OLD TONIGHT (2016)
    These songs represent our glory days with the late Jean Ritchie and other long-time friends. These are time-honored songs that we hope kindle ancestral, old-world remembrances of enchanted and sacred seasons in your own lives.

    In addition to Aubrey's vocals, mountain dulcimer, banjo, guitar, tin whistle and feet, and Elwood's vocals, guitar, mountain dulcimer and harmonica, we wish to thanks the outstanding musicians who added boundless depth and grace to these songs: Cathy Clasper-Torch on Chinese erhu, violin, cello and vocals; John Cerrigione on bass; Uriah Donnelly on piano; Kevin Doyle on djembe and Torrin Ryan on uilleann pipes.

about

Bold Riley
Traditional forecastle shanty

lyrics

Oh, the rain it rains all day long
Bold Riley-o, Bold Riley
And the northern wind it blows so strong
Bold Riley-o has gone away

Chorus:
Goodbye my sweetheart, goodbye my dear-o
Bold Riley-o, Bold Riley
Goodbye my darling, goodbye my dear-o
Bold Riley-o has gone away

Well come on, Mary, why so glum
Bold Riley-o, Bold Riley
Come White Stocking Day you'll be drinking rum
Bold Riley-o has gone away...Chorus

Instrumental

We're outward bound for the Bengal Bay
Bold Riley-o, Bold Riley
Get bending me lads, it's a hell of a way
Bold Riley-o has gone away...Chorus 2X
