I saw John Denver in the mid 1980's at the Puyallup Fair. Ge and his other singers did this, and it was unforgettable. Found it again when the original four in this song did it in Gael Force, 1997.

If you look closely at Foster's life, you can see that this song isn't about the African Americans, it's about him. His songs made little money, there was no copyright protection in his day, he became virtually penniless, his once comfortable life was gone, his wife and children estranged, the family plunged into poverty ( reference the line "Pale silent maiden whose better days are o'er. ") . He died tragically at age 37 with 38 cents to his name after an accident in a hotel in NY's Bowery.

What does this have to do with anything? I guess using this line of thought, only Stephen Foster himself should be allowed to sing it. That's absurd of course: It's a song that reverberates and resonates well with many people's experiences. I've yet to encounter anyone -- white, black, straight, gay, rich, poor, innie-belly-button, outtie-belly-button, ... -- who does not recognize themselves in some way in this song. That's why it's been such an enduring song.

As good as this is with all due respect, it is hardly the definitive version. Please to see either Kate & Anna McGarrigle’s (4:02) version (with friends) or, The McGarrigle Family’s (2:27) version. Just see underneath both for the lineups.

Words and music (1854) by Stephen Collins Foster (1826 - 1864) SOME LYRICS ALTERED BY THE SINGERS Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears While we all sup sorrow with the poor There's a song that will linger forever in our ears Oh, hard times, come again no more 'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary Hard times, hard times, come again no more Many a days you have lingered around my cabin door Oh, hard times, come again no more While we seek mirth and beauty and music, light and gay There are frail forms fainting at the door Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say Oh, hard times, come again no more 'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary Hard times, hard times, come again no more Many a days you have lingered all around my cabin door Oh, hard times, come again no more 'Tis the song, the sigh of the weary Hard times, hard times, come again no more Many a days you have lingered all around my cabin door Oh, hard times, come again no more So many a days you have lingered around my cabin door Oh, hard times, come again no more

I am a jazz guitarist and have been playing this tune for almost two years now. This is not an Irish song. As most of you probably know, this is a tune by Stephen Collins Foster, the Father of American Music. Also, this version is cheesy. Boo. The Yo-Yo Ma/James Taylor version is way hipper.

Everyone's got different tastes I suppose. My own favourite is the one with Emmylou and the McGarrigles on the brilliant Transatlantic sessions. I love Maura and Delores' voices, but frankly I find absolutely nothing remotely musical in the voices of either Elenor Shanley or Tommy Fleming. Their voices just hurt my ears.
