    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

The Road To Drumleman
©1981 Willie Mitchell/Tony Cuffe, Iona Records

lyrics

Oh the springtime returns to the Laggan again
And the lark sweetly sings o'er the green fertile plain
And I'll take the road that is dearest to me,
The road to Drumleman that winds to the sea.

For I've made many friends on every green mile
And the folks always greet me with a wave and a smile
If I spend all my days here, it's happy I'll be,
On the road to Drumleman that winds to the sea.

For we sat by the fire while the winter winds blew
And we laughed and we sang till the night was well through
And we had a good dram and a wee cup o' tea
On the road to Drumleman that winds to the sea.

And the long summer days when we climbed the hills o'er
To spend hours in the fields over Aran's wild shores
The soft summer's twilight bid shadows to flee
On the road to Drumleman that winds to the sea.

These days passing swiftly bring changes I know
And time marches on from this place we must go
But I'll ever remember as the heart beats in me,
The road to Drumleman that winds to the sea.
The road to Drumleman that winds to the sea.
