Drimindown

Drimindown is the sad tale of a cow which died. Its owner is distraught, having lost his source for milk and butter. The lyrics are, in part: Drimindown, Drimindown, for which and for why? Drimindown, Drimindown, what made you die? So white was your milk and so stiff was your tail, I thought that my Drimindown never would fail. I use a repeating note on the bass string to anchor the otherwise sparse arrangement of this plaintive dirge. Played on a Gallier Starsong dulcimer.
