This is an old Irish ballad; poignant and sad as usual!

Artist picture
Kit Fox = American Primitive Guitar, instrumental investigations of the unspeakable, ignored and forgotten..
Solo American Primitive steel-string guitar, untutored and endemic, drifting out of the Piedmont & Delta. The guitar's voice is nearly perfect as a medium for things of which otherwise we never speak, or, like Wittgenstein, cannot speak. As soon as lyrics get involved, the musical experience changes. Not that words are bad, it's just a different cognitive track, and I'm more interested in the wordless side. I try to play with at least the last couple centuries still attached, if not more. Trying to maintain a line to the past, to Americana and what remains of our older, more rural vitality. Impressionist mystery music -- as if it needs a label. :)

Story behind the song
Another lonesome ballad from the British Isles -- precursor to the American folk blues.
Lyrics
STORMS I’m going away to leave you, love I’m going away for a while. But I’ll return to you sometime If I go ten thousand miles. The storms out on the ocean, And heavens may cease to be. This world will lose its motion, Love If I prove false to thee. Now who’s going to shoe your pretty little feet And who’s going to glove your hand? Who’s going to kiss your red rose lips While I’m in a foreign land. Well Poppa will shoe my pretty little feet, And Momma will glove my hand. And no one will kiss my red rose lips While you’re in a foreign land. Have you seen a lonesome dove, Flying from pine to pine. Yearning for his own true love, Just like I mourn for mine. I’ll never go back on the ocean, Love I’ll never go back on the sea. I’ll never go back on my blue-eyed girl, ‘Til she goes back on me.
