    Since the first edition of this album has almost sold out, I made a new set. The old sleeve was no longer available and I changed my last name since the previous version, so this is a revised edition. The front is hand-stamped with a lino-cut made by Anneke ter Schure, everything else is handwritten onto the sleeve by me. That means that on these sleeves you can actually read the title of each song! :)

    Includes unlimited streaming of Laurels via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

    edition of 50 
    Purchasable with gift card

lyrics

One morning fair to take the air
Down by blackwaterside
It was in gazing all around me
An Irish lad I spied

All through the first part of the night
Well we lay in sport and play
Then this young man he arose
And gathered his clothes
Saying fair thee well today

That's not the promise that you made to me
When first you lay in my bed
You made me believe with your lying tongue
That the sun shone in the west

Then go home go home, to your father's hall
Go home and cry your fill
And think of your own misfortune
That you brought with your wanton will

There's not a girl in this whole wide world
As easily led as I
It's fishes they'll fly
And the sees will run dry
It's then you'll marry I
