The Unfortunate Lad - Brendan Gleeson - Piano Cover

Some days ago, I watched the new Coen-Brothers movie "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs". The film has a lot of good songs, but this one was special to me. It is called "The Unfortunate Lad" and I think it is based on an old folk song called The Unfortunate Rake. But I am not sure about that. Anyway, this song was performed by Brendan Gleeson and here is my piano cover of it. I hope you'll like it. If so, please share it with your friends and maybe even subscribe to the channel. ;)

That was my favorite song and very special to me either cause it reminds me so much of Pete Seeger. I wanted it to win the Oscar :)

"The Bard of Armagh", creo que ése es el origen.

As I was a walking down by the “Lock”
As I was walking one morning of late
Who did I spy but my own dear comrade
Wrapp'd in flannel, so hard is his fate

Had she but told me when she disordered me
Had she but told me of it at the time
I might have got salts and pills of white mercury
But now I'm cut down in the height of my prime

I boldly stepped up to him and kindly did ask him
Why he was wrapp'd in flannel so white?
My body is injured and sadly disordered
All by a young woman, my own heart's delight

Get six jolly fellows to carry my coffin
And six pretty maidens to bear up my pall
And give to each of them bunches of roses
That they may not smell me as they go along
