I always thought this was the better Take but I posted Take 1 here on SoundClick years ago since I was not happy with the mix of this Take 3 - but now, that I come back to this Mix 4, it does not sound so bad.

Elisha Zaporelostzi's first performances were the Open Stages put on by the Bytown Live in Ottawa Ontario, Canada. It is how Neil Young and Joni Mitchell started. Phreap magazine is a one page thing that went around Ottawa in the 1980s. Now it is a web site; http://home.att.ne.jp/blue/patchan With the help of Joe-Charly Smith, Molly Ding, Calhoon-Fred Febealie, and Butter Jones I was able to put out Phreap magazine.

Story behind the song
These words from Thomas Dekker (1570-1641) are from his play Patient Grissel. I don't know who wrote the music to my recording of Thomas Dekker's poem as it was set to music by W J Henderson in 1885, Peter Warlock in 1918, also by Charles Villiers Stanford and Alfredo Casella but this is defiantly not Paul McCartney's tune.
Lyrics
I Will Sing A Lullaby (Golden Slumbers) 17th Century English Cradle Song - By Thomas Dekker from - Pleasant Comedy of Patient Grissill (1603) by Thomas Dekker Golden slumber kiss your eyes, Smiles await you when you rise. Sleep, pretty lov'd ones, Do not cry, And I will sing a lullaby, Lullaby, lullaby, lullaby. Care is heavy, therefore sleep, Father here safe watch will keep. Sleep, pretty lov'd ones, Do not cry, And I will sing a lullaby, Lullaby, lullaby, lullaby.
