about

Heart Dance into Coming Down the Braes is known around Raleigh sessions as Allen Baker's set. He played it the very first time I met him, and he probably played it every other time there after. It never got old, I don't believe it ever will. As I was playing with him I realized that the old song Home By Bearna would slide right in nicely.

lyrics

In Scarlet Glen there lived a lass,
And every Sunday after mass,
She'd go and take a glass,
Before going home by Bearna.

We won't go home along the road,
For fear you might act the rogue,
We won't go home along the road,
We'll go home by Bearna.

We won't go home across the fields,
The big thornins could stick our heals,
We won't go home across the fields,
We'll go home by Bearna,

We won't go home across the bog,
For fear we might meet Kearney's dog,
Won't go home across the bog,
We'll go home by Bearna.

We won't go down the green boreen,
The moon is bright we might be seen,
We won't go down the green boreen,
We'll go home by Bearna.

We won't go home across the glen,
For fear your blood might rise again,
We won't go home across the glen,
We'll go home by Bearna.

In Scarlet Glen there lived a lass,
And every Sunday after mass,
She'd go and take a glass,
Before going home by Bearna.

We won't go home along the road,
For fear you might act the rogue,
We won't go home along the road,
We'll go home by Bearna.

about

James Olin Oden Raleigh, North Carolina

It's always been about what moves the heart. The songs I sing are compelling stories whose telling must be told over and over again. The stories range from dark acts that should not be forgotten to the silly revelries that we should never forsake. My hope is that as my heart is moved by the music so too may yours be moved.
