Helen and Lisa, thanks for your kindness. I actually took some liberties and edited the last verse. In the version that I started from, the cowboy wouldn't marry her because he already had a wife back home on the ranch. How often does that happen? Sounds too much like the last line of "Soldier, Soldier Will You Marry Me".  The cowboys and soldiers are such smooth talkers and the pretty maids never learn. Oh to have been a cowboy back in the day.

That's a great ballad, Gordon.  I can't believe he refused her at the end though-  poor pretty maid!   Love what she said about a tune played on one lone string of his fiddle.

It goes with the scene of the field in back.  With your voice, I somehow always envision you dressed like for a renaissance festival or even a Civil War re-enacment.

Mary and Terry thank you so much for taking the time to look at and listen to my vid. I'm somewhat unhappy with the sound, it's outside and I didn't use my amp. Maybe it's just my imagination but I find that my voice is a bit too loud for the unplugged dulcimer.

Great song, Gordon! Alas, in the next verse the cowboy returns, only to find the fair maiden has already been swept off her feet by a dapper dulcimer-strumming Mountie...

Greg, they say up here that the Mounties always get their man. In this case it must have been a straight Mountie that was able to woo the fair maid. Sorry for the politically incorrect humor, just couldn't help myself.

Oh man, Gordon.  You still got it going on.  

Gordon, that appears to be one more big dulcimer.  You are a big man, and it looks big even on you.  Very very pretty.
