@thealbionbands Gay is a powerful singer - she really gives this track the works on the fairly recent reunion cd - she's better than ever ... she and Terry never got due recognition here in Ireland ..two of our really great performers .
a bit of a silly remark really. many singers get to a point where they cant sing as they used to.so what ? it doesnt effect the music they made and recorded in any way.
This has to be one of the best tunes ever. I come from a family of traditional singers and this kills me.

One of the best songs of early Steeleye Span, the pathos in Gay's vocals is stunning,
too bad she didn't do more with the band, this song hooked me long ago,and yes,
my ancestry is from galloway

@celticdreemer1 some of my great grandparents were from Stranraer, so I suppose some of my ancestors were from Galloway too. cool song anyway.

Love this version but equally love a version I heard by The Corries I think. A very versatile song

Gay Woods takes the lead vocal on this particular track, so, atfatw, please pay attention before you make your rather childish remarks
