    THE BLACKEST CROW (2004)
    The Blackest Crow is a treasury of traditional American and Celtic folk songs, as well as original pieces. Enjoy their resplendent vocals and thoughtful presentation, played on guitar, mountain dulcimer, old-time banjo, tin whistle, mandolin, fiddle, piano, harmonica, bones, bodhran, wooden spoons, and feet.

    In their ongoing quest as gatekeepers of traditional folk music and dance, Aubrey and Elwood treat their life's work as a rescue mission: finding old songs, writing new songs, and as always, giving voice to the quiet. The songs were collected during many years of performing throughout Appalachia, as well as other places in the United States where traditional folk music still melds with daily life.

about

OH, WHAT DO WE KNOW
WORDS AND MUSIC BY ELWOOD DONNELLY
BMI ©2001 Rabbit Island Music

lyrics

I’m told that we’ll meet them on the other shore
Oh, what do we know?
Is waiting until then worth waiting for?
Oh, what do we know?

I disregarded good advice and fell in love
Oh, what do we know?
When confidence and friendship may have been enough
Oh, what do we know?

instrumental

I wonder if it’s possible to love too great
Oh, what do we know?
I know i’d rather love this way than love too late
Oh, what do we know?

It’s seldom smart to get attached
(It’s not supposed to end like that)
But if you do then you’ll discover what it means
To be...one’s lover
