Steam from the whistle, smoke from the stack From a freight train calling, waiting down the track, Waiting down the track
Fare you well my bonny, I hear a whistle blow, Fare you well my honey, I’m sorry I must go, I hear a whistle blow
When she brings you water, it’s from an empty cup Fare you well my bonny, I’m going to give it up I’ll just give it up
See that crow a-flying, flying mighty high Nothing short of dying, will drop it from the sky, Someday I’ll learn to fly
On a freight train rollin’, heading for the west, I bless the day we parted, it must for the best, Must be for the best
Fare you well my bonny, fare you well my dear, Fare you well my honey, I’m getting out of here, I’m getting out of here
Used style is _QUICKLY.STY, with almost all the included instrument RTs left intact except added RT 591 banjo juice for some soloing replacing the clawhammer banjo. Plus my good ole faddle and a hired lady singer saved from another recording session. Guess it must be Country then, eh?

PS posted a new mix August 9th; edited out an error in the chord selection by BIAB of RT2514 (somewhere kept selecting a minor chord in stead of the major on a 3rd beat in a measure), corrected some timing faults in the Clawhammer RT2524, and removed the Drumtracks, since it was rhythmically messing up the groove a little ...

Love this energetic tune. For some reason reminds of some of the American civil war songs. Great production and performance. Overall a great effort. Rob
Thanks all, a PS: Here's a videotized old version from 2013 (thus not with the RTs from the 2017 _QUICKLY.STY release) but selected grassy RTs that came out with the first release of Audiophile. BTW most of the war scenes cut out of harms' way to enhance the story:
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
