Farewell, farewell to you who would hear You lonely travellers all The cold north winds will blow again The winding road does call. And will you never return to see Your bruised and beaten sons O I would, I would if welcome I were For they loathe me every one. And will you never cut the cloth Nor drink the light to be And can you never swear a year To anyone but he. No I will never cut the cloth Nor drink the light to be But I'll swear a year to he who lies Asleep alongside of me

The simple sweetness of her voice, unembellished and unadorned, stirs the soul.
Never melodramatic, never bland, just an outpouring of sincerity and honesty from within.
Right up there with her unforgettable renditions of Anachie Gordon and Heart Like a Wheel. Pure innocence from the heart of a fair maiden... for the hopelessly romantic.

Filmed at Montgreenan Mansion, Ayrshire. I used to help out there. They all stayed with us for a month.

Great song. Tune is of Willy O'Winsbury, written by Andy Irvine, hijacked by Richard Thompson for this song. Great nonetheless...

This still puts a lump in my throat and makes the hairs on my arms stand up! Someone said Richard Thompson songs touch the soft places inside hard men - I could never imrove on that comment.
I might get attacked for saying this - heretics get burned! - but I think this captures the song better than Sandy Denny did. How did a barely 20 year old Richard Thompson write songs with such depth and significance?
Pleased you like it.
