The water is wide, I cannot cross over
And neither have I wings to fly
Build me a boat that can carry two
And both shall row, my love and I
D G D – / Bm Em A – / F#m – Bm G / Em A D –
A ship there is and it sails the seas
She’s laden deep as deep can be
But not so deep as the love I’m in
I know not if I sink or swim
I leaned my back against an oak
Thinking it were a trusty tree
But first it bent and then it broke
So did my love prove false to me
O love is handsome and love is fine
The sweetest flower when first it’s new
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like the morning dew
When the roses bloom in winter’s gloom
Then will my love come back to me
When cockle shells turn silver bells
Then would I lose my love for thee

Un canadien errant, banni de ses foyers (x2)
Parcourait en pleurant des pays étrangers (x2)
Un jour triste et pensif, assis au bord des flots
Au courant fugitif, il adressa ces mots:
"Si tu vois mon pays, mon pays malheureux
Va dire à mes amis que je me souviens d'eux"

A Few More Weary Days

Chorus: I'll fly away, o glory, I'll fly away
When I die hallelujah, by and by, I'll fly away
1. Some glad morning when this life is over, I'll fly away
To a home on God's celestial shore, I'll fly away
2. When the shadows of this life have gone, I'll fly away
Like a bird from prison bars have flown, I'll fly away
3. Just a few more weary days and then, I'll fly away
To a land where joys shall never end, I'll fly away

Wychwood Ottawa, Ontario
We're a duo (Chrissy Steinbock & Tim Kitz) who identify only half-jokingly as “the world’s first blackgrass band.” We both sing & play guitar or banjo, while mixing in accordion, bass, saw, dobro, harmonica, glockenspiel, etc. Some days we’re acoustic purists. Some days we like to corrupt traditional folksongs with bits of black metal, ambient, & noise, trying to make folk music dangerous again. ... more

Putting the Sky to Sleep
by Seth Martin and the Menders
Seth's an old friend, tourmate, and inspiration who makes great folk music. A kind of 21st century Woody Guthrie – rooted in tradition but searching for justice in the present.

dust & stars is dreamy and atmospheric, yet also fragile and sparse – and utterly lovely.

Sissy is Chrissy's solo project. It's thoughtful singer-songwriter fare, with lush instrumental twists.

Entirely analog, lush melodic pop with a tender heart from L.A. artist Human Barbie sounds bigger than the bedroom project it is.
