‘Twas in the merry month of May
When green buds they were swellin'
Sweet William Green on his death bed lay
For the love of Barbry Allen
He sent his servant to the town
To the place where she was dwellin'
Said "You must come my master dear,
If your name be Barbry Allen."
So slowly, slowly she got up
And slowly she drew nigh him
The only words to him she said
“Young man I believe you're dyin'”
“Oh yes I'm low, I'm very low
And death is on... me dwellin'
No better, no better I’ll never be
If I can't get Barbry Allen”
“Don't you remember in the stand
In yonder stand a' drinkin'
You passed your glass all round and round
And you slighted Barbry Allen”
He turned his pale face to the wall
For death was on him dwellin'
“Adieu, adieu, good neighbours all
Adieu sweet Barbry Allen”
As she was goin' ‘cross the fields
She heard those death bells knellin'
And ev'ry stroke the death bell gave
Hard hearted Barbry Allen
Oh Mother, oh Mother, dig my grave
Make it both long and narrow
Sweet William's died of love for me
And I will die of sorrow

One of my favourite albums of 2022. The rich mixture of traditional musics with field recordings and experimentation fit hand in glove. With its long form passages, there is a beautiful surprise around every corner as the music wends its way along its watery course.

Because I couldn't decide what my favourite track was. It's a beautiful album and every track could be my favourite. However, I am a soppy git so I chose stowaway. Thank you Jon and keep up the good work.
