SPOT StorchKaminöfen bei DIE NEUE 107,7 Stuttgart

Another young man cut down in his prime … 


Lyrics:
When I was on horseback wasn't I pretty
When I was on horseback wasn't I gay
Wasn't I pretty when I entered Cork City
And met with my downfall on the fourteenth of May.

Six jolly soldiers to carry my coffin
Six jolly soldiers to march by my side
It's six jolly soldiers take a bunch of red roses
Well for to smell them as we go along.

Beat the drum slowly and play the pipes lowly
Play up the dead-march as we go along
And bring me to Tipperary and lay me down easy
I am a young soldier that never done wrong


When I Was On Horseback

A beautiful song about parting of lovers and the emigration from Ireland to America ... 

Innisfree

just a remix from the old version because I just found out where my treble had gone ... ;-)

Occasionally I will upload tracks from/for my new CD: 
THE WIND THAT SHAKES THE BARLEY 
here. 

The Wind That Shakes The Barley

I thought it might be quite interesting to not sing and play a song but merely concentrate on the lyrics and use my abilities as a voice artist to point out what else can be in a well known folk song than "just" a jolly melody ...

The Lads o' the Fair

Lassie, lie near me - ein altes (von ihm selbst vertontes) Gedicht von Robert Burns, dem schottischen Nationaldichter. Eins meiner aktuellen Lieblingsstücke. Have fun!

Christoph Nolte, Sprecher
