Artist Debra Lyn and Producer Jeff Silverman are VERY excited to present her new 2020 re-release and remastered CD of BLUE SUN RISES, which includes the new 3D Binaural mix of the title track, BLUE SUN RISES and the British Traditional Folk Song, BILLY TAYLOR. The album honors the heritage of Debra Lyn’s family by celebrating her Irish/English/Scottish roots. These influences are intricately woven into her original material and traditional songs throughout.
BILLY TAYLOR
(British Traditional Folk Song)
VERSE 1:
Billy Taylor was a sailor, he was courtin’ a fair lady
Instead of Billy gettin’ married, he was forced untae the sea
But, his bride soon followed after under the name of Richard Carr
Snow-white fingers, long and slender, covered o’er wi’ pitch and tar
CHORUS:
Fal-da-ral-da-rum-dum-deddy
Fal-da-ral-de-rum-dum-day
Fal-da-ral-da-rum-dum-deddy
Fal-da-ral-de-rum-dum-day
VERSE 2:
She’s dressed herself in sailor’s clothing, oh but, she was a bonnie young man
Away she sailed upon the ocean, all aboard the Mary Anne
A storm blew up upon the water, she bein’ there among the rest
The wind blew off her silver buttons and there appeared her snow-white breast
CHORUS:
VERSE 3:
“Well, now,” said the captain, “My dear lady, what misfortune brought you here?”
“I’m in search of my true lover whom you have pressed the other year.”
“Well,“ said the captain, “My dear lady, tell to me the young man’s name.”
“Some folk call him Billy Taylor, William Taylor is his name.”
CHORUS:
VERSE 4:
“Well, if Billy Taylor’s your dear lover, then he has proved to you untrue.
He’s got married to another and left you here alone to rue.
Rise ye early in the mornin’, early at the break of day
And there you’ll spy young Billy Taylor, walkin’ oot wi’ his lady gay.”
She rose up early up next mornin’, early at the break of day
And there she spied young Billy Taylor walkin’ oot wi’ his lady gay
Gun and pistol she commanded, gun and pistol at her side
There she shot young Billy Taylor walkin’ oot wi’ his new-made bride
CHORUS:
