  • Absolutely LOVE this. Very beautiful, inspirational rendition. Thank you for this!

  • Bravo

  • 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.

  • @LiveFromScaffolding Basically, you are everything that is right with Folk Revival. Never Stop.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • awesome, Great job and well played and sang too.

  • Makes me glad I stumble upon 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.

  • Prolly my favorite version of this song on YouTube. Awesome. Really cool. Thanks for post.

  • Every year I wait to hear you sing this, it's by far my favorite. Thank you so much for posting this! <3!

  • I believe every word of what you say.

    How do I know this song, btw...

    I can´t remember....

    it is a traditional, right?

    BEst wishes

    Lisette

  • I think it IS traditional! I know the melody from a song called The Blackbird, sung by Silly Wizard. :)

  • 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.

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

  • From the bottom of my heart, thank you, Kevin!

  • whoot i love ur version ov this it makes me home sick, i still love it tho xxxjd
