  • A Garrett is a Scottish farm servants cottage, and perhaps the song is also Scottish.

    By saying that this one of the very best versions I have heard. Thank you for posting.

  • The Sweeney's Anthology cost me three times what a new CD costs,but would be cheap at twice the price.

    It is an outstanding document of a wonderful band.

  • @Svellia It's not scottish and its not a cottage. Its a room under the eaves.

  • Happy to have found this, Thanks!

  • Sweeny's Men rendition of "Old Maid in the garrett" is my favorite version of the song. :))

    Thank you for sharing :))

    (Another song sung by men from the woman's point of view) xD

  • Classic! I agree best version!

  • Best Version

    

  • I've been looking for versions of this song and I personally think this is the best !!

  • @18richardson not really; in the folk tradition, especially Irish, it's very common for men to sing songs written from the woman's point of view... and vise-versa.

  • I bet this song made the guy singing feel really awkward ...

  • Loved the song, thanks for posting
