Simple Folk perform "The Dalesman's Litany" at Cygnet Folk Festival Tasmania Jan 2010. This is a song about a man forced to leave his beloved countryside out of a greater love for his family and the need to see them fed. He describes the misery of early Industrial England and this yearning for freedom.
@MrLuvlyJubly you may be right but this is one dalesman who loves this song prefer Tim Hearts version though

Excellent. Shame Tazmania appreciates this song more than the British public.
