Song Information:

Karen Link on flute, Matt Griffin on banjar and vocals, myself guitar mandolin and vocals, here is The MacIDol String Band. This started out as a lively 3 chord tune, and became Ash Leaf Swirl(inst) because the tapes got lost in the post, and then it was Xmas, then it was New Year, so it's been months in the making, and well worth the wait.

So rent yourself a barn, brew up some hooch and toughen up your Soles, people, it's Hoppin' Time.

Song Lyrics:

As I was walking late last night
I saw a light in the sky so bright
I cried out in sheer delight
It's a long, long way to go

it's a long, long way to the edge of town
it's a long, long way to a dollar down
it's a long, long way from a smile to a frown
it's a long way to and fro

I went down to the riverside
watched the trout there hunt the flies
watched the current sliding by
it's a long, long way to go

it's a long, long way to turn your head
it's a long, long way getting out of bed
it's a long, long way to dream instead
it's a long way to and fro

When the honeysuckle starts to bloom
and lambs dance for the springtime moon
I could conjure up a tune
it's a long, long way to go.
