The Chieftains & The Low Anthem - School Days Over.
Schooldays over, come on then John,
Time to be gettin' your pit boots on
On with your sark and moleskin trousers,
It's time you were on your way
Time you were learning the pitman's job
And earning the pitman's pay
Come on then Jim, it's time to go,
Time you were working down below
Time to be handling a pick and a shovel
You start at the pits today
Time you were learning the collier's job
And earning the collier's pay
Come on then Dai, it's almost light,
Time you were off to the anthracite
The morning mist is on the valley,
It's time you were on your way
Time you were learning the miner's job
And earning the miner's pay
Schooldays over, come on then John,
Time to be gettin' your pit boots on
On with your sark and moleskin trousers,
It's time you were on your way
Time you were learning the pitman's job
And earning the pitman's pay
Ah, Brit, you have gotten me addicted to The Chieftains. Love that Low Anthem, and it used to be that kids went right to work after graduation day. I especially like the flute and cello.
If it hasn't already been posted here earlier, this straight-forward love song moves me simultaneously to tears and smiles of longlost love. Here's arguably one of the finest and most poignant love songs by Tom Rush, the first and one of the best of the folk-singer-songwriters. 2012 marks 50 years of being onstage for Tom.

some sad news from the music world Beastie Boy Adam Yauch Dead At 47
Adam Nathaniel Yauch (August 5, 1964 – May 4, 2012) was an American rapper, songwriter, and film director. He was best known as a founding member of hip hop trio the Beastie Boys, started in 1979 in New York City. He was frequently known by his stage name, MCA, and sometimes worked under the pseudonym Nathanial Hörnblowér.
Yauch founded Oscilloscope Laboratories, an independent film production and distribution company based out of New York City. A Buddhist, he was involved in the Tibetan independence movement and organized the Tibetan Freedom Concert.
In 2009, Yauch was diagnosed and treated for a cancerous parotid gland and a lymph node and underwent surgery and radiation therapy delaying the release of Hot Sauce Committee Part Two and the subsequent tour. He was unable to appear in music videos for the album. Yauch became a vegan under the recommendation of his Tibetan doctors.[18] At the time, Yauch described the cancer as "very treatable".
Yauch died at age 47 on May 4, 2012.
they started out as bratty party boy rappers, but quickly matured into smart and innovative musicians and producers

edgar, Thanks again for your comment, and I really liked Across the Great Divide by The Band.
Ragman/Russ, Welcome back to you, too. Don't know that song that you PLAYED, but it is rather sad. Thanks for the introduction.
As our Texas friend knows, this is the one that I recall best by The Band.
dj, I listened to the rap version, and I must admit, I don't care for it. Poor Yauch. Another taken from us too soon
Hey, Brit. Great one by The Band. Rag Mama Rag is one that I don't know.
So long ago, edgar and I discussed The Lost Colony and the song that was played to alert the people there, that the incoming ship was on their side. What a surprise to find this version by Mozart.
Love The Brothers Four doing Green Fields of Home, edgar.
Hey Brit, you sent me searching. Is this your man playing that flute type instrument?
Carlos Núñez (born 1971) is a Galician musician who plays the gaita, the traditional Galician bagpipe.
The Galacia region in Spain shares a similar name. The only connection may be that the decendants of Spanish Galicia renamed their new homeland in the Austria-region after they migrated out of Spain. One family line follows its migration route from Galicia, Spain to Europe from the 1490s. Sometimes, the name might be spelt as Galacia.
