@Prancer1231 its Maddy Prior singing for sure. Not sure of the other bandmates. This is not the LP version from 1974 - its a more modern remake, but still a very fine tune.  This tune is the tune that first got me hooked on Steeleye Span way back then.

I remember the band were on live on BBC the weekend of the FIRST of the 2 general elections at the start of March 1974. At 11 years old I got told off for singing this song (didn't get the words). They were bleak times !

@steveoliver62 Lol at being told off for singing it (although it makes sense, given how dirty it actually is lol).

I first heard of this song thanks to the Terry Pratchett novel "Equal Rites" which has a pretty good piss take of it in.
