| Nickel Creek – Sweet Afton Lyrics | 7 years ago |

Only just discovered this beautiful poem / song, after listening to a rendition of it by The Hound + The Fox (husband and wife duo, who like to do covers) today. The tune, Afton Waters, is familiar. Perhaps it is because Away in a manger has been sung to to it. Here is a link about Robert Burns’ poetry that I found insightful and intriguing! It will provide you with fairly detailed/concise information from different sources and facts on the history/background of the story behind Afton Waters. http://www.robertburns.plus.com/Stories6.htm |
