Sara Watkins, Sarah Jarosz, Aoife O'Donovan - Crossing Muddy Waters
Baby's gone and I don't know why She let out this morning Like a rusty shot in a hollow sky She left me without warning
Sooner than the dogs could bark Faster than the sun rose Down to the banks on an old mule car She took a flatboat 'cross the shallow
Left me in my tears to drown She left a baby daughter Now the river's wide and deep and brown She's crossing muddy waters
Tobacco standing in the fields Be rotten, come November And a bitter heart will not reveal A spring that love remembers
When that sweet brown girl of mine Hair, black eyes are raven We broke the bread and drank the wine From a jug that she'd been saving
Left me in my tears to drown She left a baby daughter Now the river's wide and deep and brown And she's crossing muddy waters
Baby's crying and the daylight's gone That big oak tree is groaning In a rush of wind and a river of song I can hear my true love moaning
Crying for her baby child Or crying for her husband Crying for that rivers wild To take her from her loved ones
Left me in my tears to drown She left a baby daughter Now the river's wide and deep and brown And she's crossing muddy waters
Now the river's wide and deep and brown And she's crossing muddy waters
All mainstays of the acoustic, folk and roots music world, Sara Watkins , Sarah Jarosz and Aoife ODonovan crossed paths many times throughout their careers. So it comes as no surprise that, after an impromptu performance at the 2014 Telluride Bluegrass Festival, all the pieces fell into place for these three acclaimed musicians to collaborate. Watkins, Jarosz and ODonovans first performance will be at 2015s Celtic Connections Festival in Scotland, an event at which they have each performed individually.
