about
An old English song which went to America and became part of tradition over there. It's called "My Blue" - got it from an old book of English folk songs which only had the lyrics so I made up the tune. Since then I've heard someone else singing it the more traditional way ( here: sounds.bl.uk/World-and-traditional-music/Traditional-music-in-England/025M-C1012X0013XX-1400V0 ) but I prefer my tune. I've uploaded the entire shambolic take I recorded with all the various attempts at it.
