I find it uncanny,but I had only recently heard Mr. Raymond Crooke showcase this bona fide favorite...so to find it posted here is double the delight!

Thanks,

Max

@stewballmax3 Honestly it was Mr.Raymond's video that reminded to post Ewan MacColl's version. I was much appreciative of all the background Mr.Raymond had on the song. I had not posted it yet as I had not gotten around into digging up the history of the song. I'm glad you both enjoyed listening. take care :)

Thanks for the video response. It's always good to hear MacColl's renditions of the Child ballads.

@raymondcrooke

I must concur with your on the mark assessment of Mr. MacColl's interpretation so generously offered here.
