Sting - Soul Cake (Live on The View)

This is total low-res, bad sound, but I really liked his performance and the explanation of the song and the only copy I found on youtube was cut short so I just filmed it off the tv with my camera. It's enough to get the idea. And oy, yes, that's those bratty cats of mine, Bruiser and Dexter, fighting at one point in the background. Those little shits can't let daddy have any peace for projects.

Fine rendition of the old Peter Paul and Mary tune. Credit Noel Paul Stookey for the original compilation.

You are correct except it is three old English tunes Noel compiled for the first time, 'way back in the '60's. It is Sting's rendition of Peter, Paul and Mary's rendition of three ol English tunes....

I just read that it's an Old English song preceding Peter Paul and Mary
