@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 :))

The Dubliners - "Maids when you're young never wed an old man"

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
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.
