Joan Baez - Mary Hamilton [HD] 

been a fan of hers for 60 years........ever since I first heard her so long ago

I'm the toughest guy I know, because I can make it to just before the first chorus without crying.

Voice of an Angel. Person who exemplified in her life the voice that was gifted to her, developed through hard work, and bestowed on a generation which could record it and remember her through the years.

Lyrics: Word is to the kitchen gone, and word is to the Hall And word is up to Madam the Queen, and that's the worst of all That Mary Hamilton has borne a babe To the highest Stuart of all Oh rise, arise Mary Hamilton Arise and tell to me What thou hast done with thy wee babe I saw and heard weep by thee I put him in a tiny boat And cast him out to sea That he might sink or he might swim But he'd never come back to me Oh rise arise Mary Hamilton Arise and come with me There is a wedding in Glasgow town This night we'll go and see She put not on her robes of black Nor her robes of brown But she put on her robes of white To ride into Glasgow town And as she rode into Glasgow town The city for to see The bailiff's wife and the provost's wife Cried Alack and alas for thee You need not weep for me she cried You need not week for me For had I not slain my own wee babe This death I would not dee Oh little did my mother think When first she cradled me The lands I was to travel in And the death I was to dee Last night I washed the Queen's feet And put the gold in her hair And the only reward I find for this The gallows to be my share Cast off cast off my gown she cried But let my petticoat be And tie a napkin round my face The gallows I would not see Then by them come the king himself Looked up with a pitiful eye Come down come down Mary Hamilton Tonight you will dine with me Oh hold your tongue my sovereign liege And let your folly be For if you'd a mind to save my life You'd never have shamed me here Last night there were four Mary's Tonight there'll be but three T'was Mary Beaton and Mary Seton And Mary Carmichael and me.

Beautiful. My father, who loved all things beautiful, pointed out to me the beauty of Joan Baez' voice.

My Dad’s favorite woman singer. He just loved her voice. And he always wanted to go see Scotland. He loved the history and the culture of the Scots. A more strong proud independent and passionate group the world has never seen.

Beautiful. My grandad told me the meaning to this and it’s tragic. Lyrics are powerful in this

one of my faves

Lovely words n song.........

This song is not a mere song but a sad mind-slashing and tragic epic with harmonious melody.

beautiful such a clear voice

Amazing Lass. That's the first time I've ever heard it. Thanks again. Lol and I am from Hamilton Scotland H And have been all my life 57 year old guitarist And that's the first iv heard it. 🎸😁

So haunting.

One of her bests. Goosebumps !

Very sad story 😢

Beautiful

Fantastic song/performance. Joan Baez amazing voice ... this is almost as good as the vs I knew 50 years ago as a child on an old 78rpm disc which was just unaccompanied voice. Would love to find out who by ... but that old record is long gone now. Have to say however - that some of the visuals are well naff and don't suit this dark and beautiful song. But then that's just my opinion. Thanks for uploading.

absolute perfection

Word is to the kitchen gone, and word is to the Hall And word is up to Madam the Queen, and that's the worst of all That Mary Hamilton has borne a babe To the highest Stuart of all Oh rise, arise Mary Hamilton Arise and tell to me What thou hast done with thy wee babe I saw and heard weep by thee I put him in a tiny boat And cast him out to sea That he might sink or he might swim But he'd never come back to me Oh rise arise Mary Hamilton Arise and come with me There is a wedding in Glasgow town This night we'll go and see She put not on her robes of black Nor her robes of brown But she put on her robes of white To ride into Glasgow town And as she rode into Glasgow town The city for to see The bailiff's wife and the provost's wife Cried Alack and alas for thee You need not weep for me she cried You need not weep for me For had I not slain my own wee babe This death I would not dee Oh little did my mother think When first she cradled me The lands I was to travel in And the death I was to dee Last night I washed the Queen's feet And put the gold in her hair And the only reward I find for this The gallows to be my share Cast off cast off my gown she cried But let my petticoat be And tie a napkin round my face The gallows I would not see Then by them come the king himself Looked up with a pitiful eye Come down come down Mary Hamillton Tonight you will dine with me Oh hold your tongue my sovereign liege And let your folly be For if you'd a mind to save my life You'd never have shamed me here Last night there were four Marys tonight there'll be but three T'was Mary Beaton and Mary Seton And Mary Carmichael and me

NICE..

One of my favorites. Surely the original woman's cry against sexual harassment, the double standard, etc. etc.

good

So very sad.

One of Peter the Great's lovers was a Scots woman named Mary Hamilton, and guess how her life ended.

You should show Joan Baez' album cover when Ms. Baez is singing. Your own photo is inappropriate.

Apparantly Bob Dylan used this tune as the template for His song The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Caroll.

The Drifters brought me here

Word is to the kitchen gone .And word is to the hall.And word is up to Madam the Queen.And that’s the worst of all.That Mary Hamilton has borne a babe. To the highest Stuart of all.Oh rise arise Mary Hamilton .Arise and tell to me.What thou has done with thy wee babe. I saw and heard weep by thee. I put him in a tiny boat.And cast him out to sea.That he might sink or he might swim.But he’d never come back to me . ⋯

Tae the hoose of Stuart, Slanje a Var
