Two wonderful beauties singing and playing an old beautiful Scottish folksong, in a beautiful and fantastic Italian town, whatever can one ever wish! An extremely excellent performance!!!!! Warmest Thanks!!!!! Goran, Sweden
Everything about this is wonderful: RDC, a beautiful new singer (hope to hear more of Alana), nice guitar picking and tone, Venician room looks so classic, English - American accents...
*LYRICS* ------------ Word is to the kitchen gone And word is to the hall And word is up to Madam, the Queen And that's the worst of all That Mary Hamilton's borne a babe To the highest Stuart of all Arise, arise Mary Hamilton Arise and tell to me What thou hast done with thy wee babe I saw and heard weep by thee I put him in a tiny boat And cast him out to sea That he might sink or he might swim But he'd never come back to me Arise, arise Mary Hamilton Arise and come with me There is a wedding in Glasgow town This night we'll go and see She put not on her robes of black Nor her robes of brown But she put on her robes of white To ride into Glasgow town And as she rode into Glasgow town The city for to see The bailiff's wife and the provost's wife Cried, alack and alas for thee Ah you need not weep for me, she cried You need not weep for me For had I not slain my own wee babe This death I would not dee Ah little did my mother think When first she cradled me The lands I was to travel in And the death I was to dee Last night I washed the Queen's feet And put the gold in her hair And the only reward I find for this The gallows to be my share Cast off, cast off my gown, she cried But let my petticoat be And tie a napkin 'round my face The gallows I would not see Then by them come the King himself Looked up with a pitiful eye Come down, come down Mary Hamilton Tonight you'll dine with me Ah hold your tongue my sovereign leige And let your folly be For if you'd a mind to save my life You'd never have shamed me here Last night there were four Marys Tonight there'll be but three It was Mary Beaton and Mary Seton And Mary Carmichael and me
The 4 Mary... There was Mary Beaton, and Mary Seaton, Mary Charmichael and me. Glad to see you getting into the Scottish folk tunes! Welcome! You are a joy to listen to, both of you! :) #thecorries
Mademoiselle Alana, vous êtes très belle et votre voix est douce comme le parfum des fleurs au printemps.. Miss Alana , you are really beautiful and your voice is sweet like the fragrance of flowers at springtime...
You girls are fantastic and Alana has one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard. And Reina, yours ain't so bad either. Loved this song ever since I heard Joan Baez included it one of her early 1960s recording. I hope she tunes in once in a while for she would be proud of you girls Thanks for carrying it on.
This is a real old favourite here in UK, and particularly in Scotland - and as with so many Irish and Scottish folk songs it has a beautiful and deceptively simply tune to carry the words. This is a wonderful, authentic rendition and it was really good to hear you, Reina, singing in your upper register - so pure, so clear. The “harp” accompaniment was a stroke of genius, and it never wavered. However, saving the best to last, the way your voices melded together was a triumph and gave the song’s delivery an even greater power and depth just when it mattered. Quite, quite superb girls - a lovely bothy-style ballad sung as it should be sung. Thanks.
@@jseymourguenther6527 on my computer i heard no harp. i heard a very clean guitar and 2 voices. 2 fine voices. perhaps we dont get the same things. any how they are good enough
Cooper también un detalle es que reina no usa púa y también toca a dedo pues no tiene uñas en los dedos de la mano derecha y el sonido es como si sonara un arpa te lo digo pues asi tocan los Paraguayos el arpa y suena de ésa manera me encuentro muy serca de Paraguay soy de ARGENTINA Y los e visto tocar y es su instrumento típico por naturaleza...
I have been to Venice a few times in the 1990s and early 2000s. Interesting place. But the thing that I remember most is that it cost me more to park my car in the San Marco Garage than it cost to stay in a hotel next to St. Mark's Square.
Moved by you two ladies beautiful singing voice. Long time eliminated the sadness and made it the lyrics of this folk ballad song. You are in Italy, please enjoy your journey. From Japan with love good luck.
The wide range in the types of music you perform continues to amaze me--you do it all so well & make it all seem so easy & natural. I have to say I missed Toni's talented instrumental breaks this week, but Alana's beautiful voice certainly helped make up for it.
That was so exquisite ladies. You sing beautifully together and particularly the harmonies. I knew that folk song from many years ago in South Africa and always remembered the words. It is touching and emotional. Thanks for your gorgeous rendition. Loved it. BTW have never heard it sang by anyone else other than Joan Baez.
Some 35 years since I was there in Venezia... Thank God it's only been a week since I enjoyed you Reina! Alana... Wow... You sing beautifully as well... Love the ethnic authenticity that flavored this folk song... I would have likewise loved it had you spoken a few words. You know how much Americans love your accent. Just lovely!
I recommended this but after a second hearing I have to say they're just phoning it in...I guess the long-haired girl gets it. It's about connecting spiritually whith the songs not just fall in love with the harmony...altough I do get that :-) Still a super rendition and I love the fact that it took two people to make this...Go further! There are so many stories left to tell....
The tragic lives of women once again preserved in beautiful folks songs.... the Queen's maid servant pregnant by the King (the highest Stuart) is forced to kill her illegitimate infant (cast out to sea in a tiny boat) is discovered and sentenced to the gallows only to be given reprieve by the King. She mocks him as she accepts her fate that if he'd a mind to save her life he would not have shamed her here. Tragically, she is one less Mary bedded, Mary Beaton, Mary Seton, Mary Carmichael and me. 😢 that these songs were written centuries past reminds us that we have not progressed one iota in a thousand years! Once again the rights of women to their body autonomy is stricken to the whims of a patriarchal society who feel they possess them. Whether forced to bed the king, or ostracization by society for a illegitimate child, the modern day equivalency of forced childbirth in the circumstances of rape and incest and the cutting of access to family planning services and social services means the songwriters will have something to sing about for centuries to come.
The classic version of the "Four Marys" is the one by Joan Baez, but this version must come a close second! Very well done --- and great guitar pickin'.
Smooth lovely and nice touching duet song. Great expertly performed guitar play here. Always a pleasure hearing this beautiful folk song. Have a nice time for both of you. Enjoy your life. Be happy.
![LAVROV's interview with Tucker CARLSON 😁 [Parody]](/img/n.gif)
Nailed it! I habe done this song and was listening to the Joan Baez version when I was a kid many years ago. Sad song.
Wonderful mix of voices, Alana and Reina is perfect😊
Beautiful, sweet, and elegant!!!
Thank you, girls!!
Is there nothing you can't do??Elle..your friends are world Class !!!
Two wonderful beauties singing and playing an old beautiful Scottish folksong, in a beautiful and fantastic Italian town, whatever can one ever wish! An extremely excellent performance!!!!! Warmest Thanks!!!!! Goran, Sweden
3 years later still great
Lovely performance, Alana has a beautiful voice, wonderful harmony...
Matty Groves, Fairport Convention and Who Knows Where The Time Goes, And that too was splendid.
I agree. Sandy Denny!!!
Everything about this is wonderful: RDC, a beautiful new singer (hope to hear more of Alana), nice guitar picking and tone, Venician room looks so classic, English - American accents...
*LYRICS*
------------
Word is to the kitchen gone
And word is to the hall
And word is up to Madam, the Queen
And that's the worst of all
That Mary Hamilton's borne a babe
To the highest Stuart of all
Arise, arise Mary Hamilton
Arise and tell to me
What thou hast done with thy wee babe
I saw and heard weep by thee
I put him in a tiny boat
And cast him out to sea
That he might sink or he might swim
But he'd never come back to me
Arise, arise Mary Hamilton
Arise and come with me
There is a wedding in Glasgow town
This night we'll go and see
She put not on her robes of black
Nor her robes of brown
But she put on her robes of white
To ride into Glasgow town
And as she rode into Glasgow town
The city for to see
The bailiff's wife and the provost's wife
Cried, alack and alas for thee
Ah you need not weep for me, she cried
You need not weep for me
For had I not slain my own wee babe
This death I would not dee
Ah little did my mother think
When first she cradled me
The lands I was to travel in
And the death I was to dee
Last night I washed the Queen's feet
And put the gold in her hair
And the only reward I find for this
The gallows to be my share
Cast off, cast off my gown, she cried
But let my petticoat be
And tie a napkin 'round my face
The gallows I would not see
Then by them come the King himself
Looked up with a pitiful eye
Come down, come down Mary Hamilton
Tonight you'll dine with me
Ah hold your tongue my sovereign leige
And let your folly be
For if you'd a mind to save my life
You'd never have shamed me here
Last night there were four Marys
Tonight there'll be but three
It was Mary Beaton and Mary Seton
And Mary Carmichael and me
Thank you!
Yes thank for lyrics of the song... From France.
Reina with guitar is a shiny gold. Alana's voice (and looks) is shimmering ruby! They're both precious!
The 4 Mary...
There was Mary Beaton, and Mary Seaton, Mary Charmichael and me.
Glad to see you getting into the Scottish folk tunes! Welcome! You are a joy to listen to, both of you! :)

Alana has a very classic sounding folk singer voices. Almost Judy Collins sounding. Nice job, ladies.
Better.
Your friend Alana has a gorgeous voice.
yes she does .
Made an old man shamelessly cry. Bless you both.
Mademoiselle Alana, vous êtes très belle et votre voix est douce comme le parfum des fleurs au printemps.. Miss Alana , you are really beautiful and your voice is sweet like the fragrance of flowers at springtime...
Beautiful melody.
Very good version.
You girls are fantastic and Alana has one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard. And Reina, yours ain't so bad either.

I think this is my favorite video on the Internet.
Beautiful Harmonies

did Hamish Imlach sing this? and can I find it ? :S
“Harp” a little hot in the mix, tho
@@jseymourguenther6527 on my computer i heard no harp. i heard a very clean guitar and 2 voices.
2 fine voices. perhaps we dont get the same things.
any how they are good enough
Cooper Discupame el acompañamiento de Reina no es de (arpa)es una de las tantas variantes de tocar acompañandose mediante arpejios...
Cooper también un detalle es que reina no usa púa y también toca a dedo pues no tiene uñas en los dedos de la mano derecha y el sonido es como si sonara un arpa te lo digo pues asi tocan los Paraguayos el arpa y suena de ésa manera me encuentro muy serca de Paraguay soy de ARGENTINA Y los e visto tocar y es su instrumento típico por naturaleza...
So beautiful and so mournful.
i love watching Elle's fingers picking the strings
I have been to Venice a few times in the 1990s and early 2000s. Interesting place. But the thing that I remember most is that it cost me more to park my car in the San Marco Garage than it cost to stay in a hotel next to St. Mark's Square.
Your friend Alana has a beautiful voice and well suited to that folk song... well done to you both!
A lovely rendition of a very beautiful song- thank you.
A fabulous treat to hear you do a British folk song - there are plenty more where that came from!

Miss the view...
Beautiful, good singer too!
Great job girls. Alana, what a clear, lovely voice you have! And Reina is perfect as usual.
Just when I thought it couldn't get any better you got into the two part harmonies. Arm hairs standing! Outstanding work! Enjoy your time in Europe!
Beautyful! You made a wonderful sunny summerday in Argentina to a day of diamonds. Thank you so much!
Wow! That was so touching that I wept.
Also, must be nice to have such friends in so many places. Blessings.
Excellent! The realness of Reina and her friends is indeed a rare treat on the web. Thank you for all you do, Reina. From Fargo!
Nice harmonies! Beautiful view. My Mom would have been jealous. As a world traveler, Venice was her favorite!
Stunning. Two voices perfectly matched.
one only imagine the magic you two could produce together, a capella.

Beautiful folk ballad and wonderful duet interpretation ! Congratulations! Great like ! Best wishes from Austria !
Very nice, thank you Elle and Alana.
Reina and her friend always wonderful .....
Tears in eyes.
Loved the guitar.
Absolutely fantastic! Great rendition of a great song. You two sound heavenly. Thank you for another great one. LOL. 🎵🌹🤗🎼🎸🇺🇸
The classic version of the "Four Marys" is the one by Joan Baez, but this version must come a close second! Very well done --- and great guitar pickin'.
Great picking and singing from a very beautiful young lady. I had to push the repeat button on this several times.
Super voice.. Mary
Thank you both ! So calming !
Thank you Reina and Alana... A very nice song. Hope I can go to one of your concerts in Europe ! Go on !
The guitars and ladies are cool.
What a treasure this is! Thank you ladies. Sad story but well done.
Smooth lovely and nice touching duet song. Great expertly performed guitar play here. Always a pleasure hearing this beautiful folk song. Have a nice time for both of you. Enjoy your life. Be happy.
Had to wait a while patiently for the harmonics but then..... whaow goosebumps!!!
You mean harmonies, not harmonics.
Delightful and soul melting voices. Thank you to you both.
Reina is great, missed Toni. Alana has a great voice. Harmony at 3:25 dropped my jaw.
What a nice duet... Excellent, really... From France.
Amazing. I wish I could like this more than once. UA-cam needs another level of like.
I almost forgot to like but reminded me so it's half yours.
Old-time folk song and nylon strings; a double change of pace. 😁 Lovely song- well done. 👍
Nice job
You can feel her right hand getting tired as the song goes on, fingerpicking is a pretty good workout!
Well done. Very well done version. Both your voices sound great with each other.
Beautiful you have really opened my eyes to musical styles i would not otherwise have listened to.
Two very beautiful voices!
Loved It Girls... Wonderful. Thanks from Elsàss/Alsace, France.
What a beautiful song, sung by two beautiful people! Thank you for the happiness this morning
Thanks Reina and Alana, that was beautiful, I'm loving it 🎸🎶🎶
Lovely. Pure lovely.
You have made music so much more for me these days. So glad I've found you, lovely lady!
Nice. I first heard Joan Baez sing it. It was nice to hear with two voices, just beautiful...
That Was BEAUTIFUL...! All of it. Thank You
Beautiful song, beautiful voices. Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
Great job. Love you picking the gatar. Awsome.
