    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

Bonnie James Campbell
Traditional, Child Ballad #210

lyrics

High upon highlands and low upon Tay
Bonny James Campbell rode out on a day
He saddled, he bridled, so gallant rode he
Home came his good horse but never came he
Home came his good horse but never came he

Out came his mother, a-weeping full sore
Out came his new bride, a-tearing her hair
My meadow lies green and my corn is unshorn
My barn is to build and my baby unborn
My barn is to build and my baby unborn

Saddled and bridled and booted rode he
A plume in his helmet, a sword at his knee
His hounds running by him, his hawk flying free
Home came his good horse but never came he
Home came his good horse but never came he

Empty the saddle, all bloody to see
Home came his good horse but never came he
