A classic murder ballad about a man who poisons his lovers glass of wine, stabs her with a saber and then throws her into the river. The trio Lula Wiles did a great version of this. www.lulawiles.com/
So Good! Ive also heard Burglar's Wine instead of Burgandy. Its a poisoned bottle of wine left out on the kitchen table incase a burglar might break in and see it
www.lulawiles.com/ - a concert in my friends garage, The girl in the center is her niece. This is a great song and many variations exist both in the states and in the UK. Thanks for the comment
It's a different version, dude. These musicians took creative liberty and changed the song in a way they saw fit for their personal style/taste. It's different from the original, but geez they're allowed to be creative. Haven't you ever heard a musician take an original melody and then cover it in a completely different style? That's what they're doing, and they did a great job. Just enjoy the music for what it is and don't get caught up in the past
The best part about music is that it can be interpreted and reinterpreted many different ways. These ladies did a fantastic job with this cover regardless of the break in traditional structure.
