@19davo66 I have found the song, though not sung by June, it is called,,, Rosie Anderson. Everyone who has suggested titles have increased my love of this woman! x

@19davo66 I think it might be Waly Waly from Airs & Graces :)

@19davo66 Could it be Young Johnstone?

Any June Tabor fans helpme try and find a song of hers. It was nearly thirty years ago! She sang a beautiful sone and as years have passed I fail to remember most.. there was a woman clled Rosie and he put his shoes under her bed, to show she had cheated, when she hadn't. Rosie Anderson, just come to mind will check. Sorry if obscure, just found a Dick Gaughan sond, from same era I was Folking! I miss it!

@pvuf431 Me, too. Custard's gross. Give me a nice tin of Nestle's cream for pouring over my pudding. :) Still, June Tabor's singing here is some of her best. Had I ten thumbs, they'd all be turned up.

Yow! What a great version! I haven't heard this done as well since Tony Capstick took it for a spin.
