I had no idea she could sing like that... I love her deep voice but this is also very beautiful.

[zeda1979]

Truly moving, beautiful... Where has folk music gone?? Bring it straight back!

[AnitaNellcote]

j' adore la mélodie (et de façon générale, ces sortes de chansons médiévales à la mode dans les 60's) ... dommage que les paroles soient pourries au début et tristes à la fin !!

cette chanson est vraiment chouette !!

Marianne Faithful did a great job to sing this.

Derroll Adams was a great frailing banjoplayer and he had a lovely deep voice, a great folksinger, who met Woodie Guthrie and Ramblin' Jack Elliot and many other well known folksingers.

All the best

Unknown? Derroll...?

I have met lots of people who mention him as an inspiration, so hey...

[Babyblue177]

@Bietel I agree with you. Derroll was great and an inspiration for many. Joan Baez made this song very famous. Derroll, unknown???? Oh my!
