Description:

This Welsh folk song (also known as Dau Rosyn Coch) is in the form of a conversation between a man and a milkmaid. He asks for a kiss and for her hand in marriage, before he learns that she has no money. She dissmisses him by saying that she hadn't asked him to marry her in the first place. Sorry I can't sing, but there are numerous versions of it out there if you want to listen to the words. This tune helped me discover what I could do with the 1.5 fret on my new dulcimer, and the greater volume range of my Folkcraft Series H.

This melody reminds me of a number of "rogue meets maid" songs from Newfoundland,usually in a minor key.The alternative,"rogue turns out to be a lord,knight,fellow with land"...are usually in a major key.Hmm.

The Welsh words are definitely in the ‘rogue meets maid’ category, and very similar to English versions where the pest of a man says he’s not interested in marrying her when she finds out she has no money, and she retorts that she never asked him to. The minor/major key distinction - it makes a lot of sense, but it does give the game away if you’re aware of it before hearing a song the first time! 😂

Great job and a very nice sounding dulcimer 

Thanks Jim. I chose Engelmann spruce for the soundboard because I read it had good sustain, and I’m very happy with it.
