Fotheringay

After about 18 years of captivity, Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots, was beheaded in the morning of February 8, 1587, at Fotheringhay Castle, Northamptonshire. This heart-breaking song is about Mary's final moments and was written by Sandy Danny in 1969, when she was part of the Fairport Convention. My arrangement of this song makes use of a 12 strings Martin custom 000-42 and some synthetic strings and ocarina in the background (with my Korg 600 keyboard). Fotheringay How often she has gazed from castle windows over And watched the daylight passing within her captive wall With no-one to heed her call The evening hour is fading within the dwindling sun And in a lonely moment those embers will be gone And the last of all the young birds flown Her days of precious freedom, forfeited long before To live such fruitless years behind a guarded door But those days will last no more Tomorrow at this hour she will be far away Much farther than these islands Or the lonely Fotheringay.
Traditional english and scottish ballads collected and published by Francis James Child at the end of 19th century.
