Inspired by a Phil Doleman short on Cripple Creek played in two styles and adapted this tune to clawhammer. It seems to work but I still haven't managed to achieve the fiddle speed.

Woody Guthrie adapted (nicked) the Redwing tune for his very singable There Once Was a Union Maid with its chorus "Oh you can't scare me/I'm sticking to the union..." Thanks for the very clear explanation of how you play it. You encourage us to make this melody our own and that's great advice! Best wishes from your Canary Island appreciation society.

Great Phil! Many thanks!

Had a funny Sunday learning the tune. Thank you! Sooner or later I'll play it like you (who knows...)

Brilliant, yes I used to hear that sung in the folk clubs a lot, a good few years back.
