This song is from old England.

Steeleye made it famous in the 70s.

[N3uroToxin]

I love this one and also the Asonance's Czech version :-) (Asonance - Alisson Gross)

alison gross på borgen hist den lædeste heks i det ganske nord kalte meg til seg uti sitt bur og taled til meg med fult fagre ord hun klappet mitt kinn og kjemte mitt hår så kjærlig på kne hun satte meg vil du være min elsker tro så mang en god gave gir jeg deg gakk vekk gakk vekk du lede heks du la meg være bli borte fra meg jeg aldrig vil vorde din elsker tro gid jeg nu kun var langt vekk fra deg

[volgodon]

It is a cover, because the tune was written by Steeleye.

[king0thebritons]

Nope, it was not written by Steeleye Span. Arranged, yes, but the tune is traditional.

[DelphinusFNT]

i love this song!

[Kopijeger]

Well, Folque did claim inspiration from Fairport Convention and Steeleye Span, but considering that the original text is one of the Child ballads and the translation is by 19th Danish folklorist Svend Grundtvig, it is debatable whether it is a cover in the strictest sense.

[narkiz]

Yes I agree, it is unique, I like this version too. A gentler version.

[klausthemusician]

If you just listen to the Steeleye Span version you will hear that the chords are almost identical. And the female voicing is just like Maddy Priors. And so the violin... It sounds like they had Steeleye Span in their earphones all the time in the studio.

[sonoNEKO]

this does sound every similar, and every other version of this i've found is to a tune other than "Lay the bend to the bonnie broom," so i'd call this a cover

[sonoNEKO]

gah, i fail, i was listening to harpa and reading these <<

nevermind tht <<

[narkiz]

Aww this was my favorite Steelye Span song! Awesome cover!
