When I was 14 I saw Donovan in concert. He wore a purple kaftan and did this song and others from A Gift from a Flower to a Garden. Yes, it was a wonderful experience.

Just so we're all clear here: While this is a beautiful song, it is VERY VERY sad, and is about a prostitute. Not a lover, daughter, etc. listen to the words.

@romantichouse I am named after this song, too! Any idea as to the origin of the name?

@lalanyalovesyouu why you and your mom don't make me a good blow job?

For those of u who have no clue how to say my sister's name, or its origin. This was my dad's favorite song and I believe he was singing about his own child. The correct pronunciation of her name is absolutely beautiful.

@Porthlevenfan Without being absolutely sure I'd say it is - Harold McNair, "The Debonair" as Donovan calls him on the live LP from, well, 68-9?

I named my daughter after this song. I loved the song , and I loved her. She passed and now I am lost.

Any source details on this one MrSimonads? Never seen this clip, looks like the John Cameron Quartet backing, but I'm not sure.

I am named after the song as well. Also I have a signed picture of him he signed it when my parents met him and my mother was pregnant with me. I love this song and my name
I named my daughter after this song. Today is her 33rd birthday and I just had to listen to this song again and share it with my daughter again. Thanks Donovan, it's still a beautiful song.

@romantichouse : This is wonderful. Happy Birthday to your daughter. And I have no doubt that you must be real proud of your daughter as much as you love this song. Thanks DONOVAN from everyone here.
