    *A NOTE ON SHIPPING COSTS*
    I get a lot of emails about the pricey shipping costs so I just want to address it here. I'm not scamming you. These are the actual costs of the US postal service priority mail right now. Especially shipping outside of the USA, the costs are very high, I know. I wish I could do something about it to make this more accessible but I can't. I only send priority mail now instead of a cheaper media mail because I've had so many issues in the past with things getting lost or destroyed if I don't send priority mail and then I end up having to reimburse the cost of the record as well as the shipping and I've lost a lot of money that way so this is really the only option for me shipping right now unfortunately. Just know that all the shipping costs are going towards actual postage, I'm not pocketing any money beyond the cost of the item. I understand if you can't stomach the shipping cost, I don't blame you....love you anyways :)

about

this is a cover of the song with lyrics by will d cobb in 1901 and the music by jeff tweedy. it was included on the mermaid avenue collection because the song was found in woody guthrie's journals, even though it is not originally by him. i just always thought it was a beautiful song, and i wanted to add my own weird vision of it and change it up a bit. my first cover on an album ever.

lyrics

They were strolling in the gloaming/Where the roses were in bloom/A soldier and his sweetheart brave and true/And their hearts were filled with sorrow/For their thoughts were on tomorrow/As she pinned a rose upon his coat of blue/Do not ask me love to linger/When you know not what to say/For duty calls your sweetheart’s name again/And your heart need not be sighing/If I be among the dying/I’ll be with you when the roses bloom again/When the roses bloom again/Down by the river/And the mockingbird has sung his sweet refrain/In the days of Auld Lang Syne/I’ll be with you sweetheart mine/I’ll be with you when the roses bloom again/’Midst the rattle of the battle/Came a whisper soft and low/A soldier who had fallen in the fray/I am dying, I am dying/And I know I have to go/But I want to say before I pass away/There’s a far and distant river/Where the roses are in bloom/And a sweetheart who is waiting there for me/And it’s there I pray you’ll take me/I’ve been faithful, don’t forsake me/I’ll be with her when the roses bloom again/I’ll be with her when the roses bloom again
