Thank you to the person who posted the video. I love this song as it was one of my mother' favourites, however she passed away last year. I have been trying to learn this on the guitar but no luck so far.

[MrBluesforyou]

Perfect Job and very good Memories!

[alneal100]

This is the first song I learned to play all the way through. That was long ago. I'm an old fart now, but I was a very young fart when I learned it. Perhaps I was not a young fart...perhaps I was a young whippersnapper....I have alzheimers now so I can't remember shit.

[MFSundahl]

OMFG! is it the same fingerrings that he had in the video here on youtube from 1986? Can't post a link sorry...

[tan21121]

i love this song, i cant work out which version i like most,

ralph mctell or the roger whittaker version, but one thing i do know is that

ralph wrote one hell of a wonderful song.

[sparhawk1952]

How many musicians sound better 40 years on than they did "back in the day"?

Not many, and Ralph is certainly one.

Great video, well done.

We used to sing this song in assembly in my primary school - singing it along with thousands at Cropredy last year really was a special moment . Can't wait for Cropredy this summer! : )

I know i also love the song "Red and Gold" that he sings as well.

[treble69]

This song was taught to me by a beautiful Belgian girl in London in the summer of '73. I had never heard it before. She was 17, i turned 20 in her embrace. She's back there in my memory and out in the world somewhere. I'll never forget her or the song, which brings back . back a flood of memories. Thank you, Ralph

[Northernspotter101]

What a song. What a voice. What a man.

Better than Skinhead O'Conners version of this classic

[61Imagine]

Brilliant,

I love this song, heard it for the first in my life when I was 12 years old on German TV (1974), and I was really very happy to have the chance to be at the Cropredy Festival this year to watch him alive 35 years later (47 now!!!), I enjoyed it very much, his set was one of my highlights!!

[Bjovolf]

You seem to be following him around, J LOL

So you are NOT an impartial reviewer ;-)

[asloem]
