Steeleye Span - Lady Isobel And The Elf Knight. Live Video

[gdgest]

This is a most excellent variant of both Child Ballad #4 and a British broadside ballad, The Outlandish Knight, published between 1813 and 1838 by J. Catnach (London). Thanks for sharing. :-)

May I respectfully correct blackwiddow20.

This song was not sung by Peter Knight, but I think by Bob Johnson. The words are traditional but the tune was written and arranged by Bob.

It is on the Cd Time prkcd34

I agree with others this is a lovely song and not played half enough.

Long live Steeleye Span Maddy and Peter.

This is Steeleye Span's most underrated song

Thank you.

@blackwiddow20 are you thinking of "The Old Maid In The Garret" ?

[blackwiddow20]

@rockerbox1973

No It was a song that Peter sang alone.It was about some elves I think
