This is actually a take on a well-known Appalachian version of the Irish ballad, found on Harry Smith's Anthology of American Folk Music Vol 1, check it out. For what it's worth, Costello doesn't depart much from his source.

So it's not the Maken and Clancy version of the song.. this version is still gorgeous. It's contemporary - get over it.

Great song, but he could've let them jam.

A beautiful and poignant song reduced to a dirge - I like EC but frankly this is shite

Once in a while I hear or see something that gives me goosebumps. This is one of those. Awesome.
