I love the ISB's version, which has a real Cajun flavor. I sing and play it on concertina. Thanksfor the recommendation hydfawr.

This song traveled all over the British Isles before coming to America. I heard a cowboy version on a New Mexico ranch a couple years back. It's a great song, and I like Warren's version a whole lot more than I expected to! Thanks for posting.

I think this is an old british folk song.this is a good version though,Warren Smith has always been magic.

Do I detect Hank Williams' influence in his vocal style? Thanks for posting!

@lowellgrippo Yes, I think Hank Williams vocal style is here for sure. :)
