about

A well-known American folk song originating in the early 19th Century about a young man trying to make his way through life. There are many different versions of the lyrics, famously sung by Joan Baez and Johnny Cash. The tune was arranged by my guitar teacher for me when I was about thirteen years old. When the two of us first started playing as Loreley I remembered Stephen’s arrangement of the tune as the first folk piece I ever learned, and edited it further to come up with my own version, which is this one.
