Some of these songs are so old, so beautiful, so treasured… People turn them to poop by performing misguidedly in the way they imagine they were written; mutilating the melody, misinterpreting the meaning, and attempting to imitate traditional accents. But you don't need to be British, trained, or dressed up like a frickin leprechaun. You just need to respect it and have some talent. Your rendition of this song is very personal. You sing naturally, beautifully and with no pretense.
I don't understand why someone has marked all the comments as spam. They're all positive, and this is a wonderful performance of this song. Great job and thanks for sharing! =D
i was only this weekend upon a expedition, mine warriors and other travelers met around a campfire, we shared ale and song, the leader of my neighboring camp sang this song for us all. This song has been burned into my soul, it brings me tears now, tears of fellowship remembered and times gone by.
Oh! That's great version. One of the best I have heard here on youtube and maybe I like it more than Owain's! I sing this song with my harp too and love it and I really love that you sing it clearly, peacefully, with mood (no rough ho! ho! sailor's like style like other people do) - there is sadness and power in your voice. Good work!! I will watch more of your videos.
Man, I really enjoy watching your videos and listening to you. Your music takes me back to a time I am so fond of and so proud to have experienced. As a self-proclaimed Renaissance man, I have always been particularly fond of minstrel and folk music. Please don't ever stop doing what you do. It would be a sin for the rest of the world to be denied your beautiful music. Love and Peace, Brother. Big Daddy.
Is there any chance you could send me the chords to this song? Ever since I first saw you play it at the Michigan Renaissance Festival, I've been in love with your version of this song...I would really appreciate it.
Amazing work...I'm so glad I found your Youtube page.
This tune is used and re-used on a number of songs, this being only one of them. Check my version of The Blackbird, and another song I have done called Maid of Culmore.
Absolutely LOVE this. Very beautiful, inspirational rendition. Thank you for this!

The melody to Blackbird is slightly different, but the (very common) chord progression is almost identical.
