One more, LibWhacker, from some folk artist pals in NC— the Kruger Brothers (who are Swiss born, and live in the US) and a fine mtn soul singer who is passing from Parkinsons (A Vietnam Vet, God Bless Him)
singing the classic folk song, live in a little place now long closed... the song, “Down in the Willow Garden” (the traditional name— “Rose Conley”) Haunting tune from the olde country to the mtns of NC,TN and VA.

“My Father often told me, money would set me free,if I did
murder that dear little girl whose name was Rose Conley”

Love the voice and the music itself, but, man oh man, the lyrics! Kind of hard to take... Why did the father set his son on poor little Rose Connelly?

Here's another one, sort of in that same vein, that I really love. This version was done quite recently, though there are earlier ones that stretch way back: Hang Me, Oh Hang Me
