It's rare to find traditional songs that feature multiple female characters. When they do, they almost always seem to be of the "Cruel Sister" murder ballad variety. That's why I especially love this tale of sisterly love and support from the songbook My Song Is My Own. According to the book's notes, unmarried relationships often co-existed with marriage and were legally recognized in Scotland until the 13th century.
I took a heavy arranging hand on this one while trying to preserve the story arc - cutting verses, editing verse structure, and making significant alterations to the melody. There are a handful of renditions out there, but none sound quite like this one!

Gorgeous song, arrangement and performance ! :-)
What a beautiful guitar/ vocal performance - you have to play in England! There are so many folk clubs that you'd light up 👏
Lovely
Beautiful song and performance
Clicked on this on a whim having no idea who you were--and I have to say, that was *probably* the best decision I've made tonight. (Got to be the video's 100th Like, too, so there's that.) Going to check out the rest of your music now...
Wow, thanks so much! Hope you enjoy the tunes!
Amazing performance my dear friend
such a lovely song :)
Very nice!!
Great performance! The birds with a brief cameo made it all the better!
This is so beautiful! Thanks for posting!!
You have a beautiful voice Lindsay. 🎹 👍
I've listened to this countless times over the weekend...
Lovely performance and that guitar has just the right tone for the song.
Such a beautiful arrangement of vocals and accompaniment by your guitar!
Thank you so much!
Always exellent, always and allways.... (And thanks to the little birds too...)
Very beautiful...Jeff
Wonderful! Beautifully arranged. Thank you for sharing.
wow, absolutely beautiful!! 😍😍👌🏻❤️
Excellent as always. Brought back memories of my dad playing a slow claw hammer version of House Carpenter when young. Made me smile...... Thank you......
Ooh, I'd have liked to hear that!
@@LindsayStraw i suppose Clifton Hicks would be the only one who would do a truly traditional version. I use to have a ton of cassette recordings of playing at different times and places, that i cannot find. But they're in my head still .....
❤
Beautifully sung and played! Interesting tuning, too, working well with the capo placement - just figuring it out! :) Subscribed!
Thought I already commented on this sweet rendition. Thank you. To get the birds to sing like that here, I 'd need to get out there about 4 AM.
Absolutely gorgeous performance. Happy to subscribe!!!
Awesome, thank you!
@@LindsayStraw No probs Lindsay and I invite you to my channel too ;)

Also pretty playing.
Wow, that was absolutely beautiful!
Beautiful performance
Lindsay - your performances just keep getting better and better. Lovely!
D'aww!
Wonderful ❤❤❤
Beautiful ♫♥♫
The birds like it, too!
Pretty sweet, where do you find the songs? Do you have certain artist you like? Or is it just popular tunes?
It's a mix! There are definitely some folks whose repertoire I really like and will sometimes draw from, plus there are some great collections of old field recordings and source singers that I'll dig into on occasion. This one actually came from a book and I took a pretty heavy editing hand to it, though.
Tasty song
❤
