Hey guys. The original song was done in major chords whereas the DS plays it in A minor. This is a Depression era song. It's also a Prison song about a guy in stir only having this memory of this woman to keep him going. He has nothing but this memory and a Dear John letter would leave him with nothing. The use of the Cello is brilliant in enveloping us with the feeling of terrible sadness and loneliness. Thanks guys. Stay safe
They used the real lyrics, but most people sing it all cheerful and happy, and skip out the VERSES, and just sing the chorus, alone. It's a heart-broken song, sang as happy-go-lucky love song, and THIS VERSION ROCKS!
These guys are so good. I stumbled on this song a couple weeks ago....then i had to go and binge a ton of their music. Also, I am pretty sure these are the original lyrics

2 points. The song is the original lullaby, it's about a guy in prison whose wife said she'd wait for him, but didn't. And if you notice the entire video was filmed in one continuous shot.
Appreciate the recommendation and actually we already did. Here’s the link to it, check it out and let us know what you think……Rob 🔒 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AZRLVA4mMRU.html
