The Friends Of Fiddler's Green - The Road To Mandalay flac album

Fiddler's Green is a legendary supposed afterlife, where there is perpetual mirth, a fiddle that never stops playing, and dancers who never tire.

The fact that the Toronto-based Friends of Fiddler's Green have managed to operate almost entirely under the radar of the folk-music mainstream in the United States is probably equally due to that mainstream's obliviousness and to the vagaries of independent record distribution between the two countries

Fiddler’s green Lyrics. There's a sad tale I'll tell you of a sailor man's life How his love for the high seas it cost him a wife When I've told you my story I'm sure you'll agree It's not but pure folly when a man goes to sea Just a young man of twenty I was courting a lass

Fiddler’s Green – the sailor’s vision of heaven. Fiddler’s Green is sometimes said to have been influenced or even borrowed from a much earlier song called, Wrap me up in my Old Tarpaulin Jacket, but although there are similarities in the theme and bits of phrasing, there’s no doubt Conolly’s work is a unique and original song. Conolly acknowledged on the Mudcat online folk music forum that that he got the idea for the first line of his chorus from Tarpaulin Jacket – wrap me up in my old tarpaulin jacket – but that was about as far as the influence went. See videos page for a recording of Wrap me up in my Old Tarpaulin Jacket.
