The Coachman 03:08
Oh How lonely the coach bell is ringing As the dust from the road fills the air And the coach man’s sorrowful singing Floats across the wild fields in despair That sad song overflows with such felling So much grief can be heard in that strain That my cold heart long hardened and weary In my bosom was kindled again I recalled other nights other wonderings And the fields and the forest so dear And my eyes which so long had been aired Became moistened like jewels with a tear Oh how lonely the coach bell is ringing As it swings in the night too and frow And my coach man has now fallen silent And I still have a long way to go Long way to go.

about

My friend Peter Lukianov introduced me to this lovely 19th century Russian folk song. Peter provided the English translation for the lyrics and asked me to write an original bluegrass musical arrangement. The Coachman demonstrates the commonality of our folk musical cultures.
