Thank you very much yet again ! As you know I am really enjoying these very unusual tracks. This one has me totally puzzled.At first I could not tell
whether it was Gene or Pat Robinson,but the quote suggests Gene. My second
question is why on earth Gene would mess about with what sounds like an Irish/Scottish lullaby which was never likely to make a strong track. It is still fascinating to hear what they are doing and I thank you most sincerely for this post and I can't wait to hear some more !

Yes, at the beginning it was hard to guess who was singing, but from the second verse on it's definitely Gene. I think the song is rather nice, and would have sounded good with the old Byrds' two-part harmony. And maybe a little shorter, too. Interesting series, this. Thanks.
