the tune is called "Maiden's Prayer", it's by Bob Wills originally (I think?) You'll find a very nice version under martingross here in youtube, he is the top German dobro player at the time.
Recently got myself a dobro, doing some internet research and found this video. Very well done! Hope I can find some musicians to jam with like this someday. :)
@calinkus The gentleman above should know well. He was for many years Brother Oswald's student, and on occasions played with Roy Acuff. I love Maiden's Prayer.
This is an old Bob Wills fiddle tune "The maidens prayer. This player obviously learned a lot of his style from Bashful Brother Oswald and Hoss Lineman
A maiden's prayer composed by a young polish pianist Tekla Badarzewska (1856!) Bob Wills added lyrics in '35 You can hear a pretty good version on a old Willie Nelson's record (1975) greetings from France to all dobro lovers MAIDEN'S PRAYER Bob Wills 1935/Tekla Badarzewska 1856 INTRO 1 VERSE 1 - E A Twi-i-i-light falls evening shadows find B7 E There 'neath the stars a maiden so fair divine E A Lonely there she kneels and tells the stars above E A E A In her heart is a song and there it belongs B7 E Her un-dying song of love 2 - Every word reveals an empty broken heart Bro-o-ken by fate that held them so far apart Stars on high seemed to know that she's there In her heart is a song and there it belongs Her undying song of love SOLO 3 = 2 (lyrics published for info only; no intention of any copyright infringement...)
