Love this song

There is a german band called "Wild Silk" who did this song with a female voice (just search YouTube for: Wild Silk Lovers)

I heard them several times in live concerts, and it just makes you shiver. One of the best songs I've ever heard.

this is rubbish listen to the furys much much better

[banjostead]

I'm sure you are right, and I'm delighted to know that the Fury's had the intelligence to record this song. I wonder how many of the words they changed? But remember that this is the first ever recording of this song and I had it on an LP long before the Fury's managed it.

you are right i should have been happy that you put this on YouTube i cannot find it anywhere else so instead off complaning I thank you

[banjostead]

Look for Paul Downes on YT. Filmed in Philadelphia this was also done before my LP came out. Paul sings it better than I do too. It's somewhere in my library of 350+ items; and I think the first few verses are there on You tube somewhere, posted by somebody else who ran out of film space! Anyway I'm glad you answered. Pete Seeger always told me the song is more important than the singer and I think that he is right.
