This is a great border ballad, with a fine balance of brutality and nobility.MacColl's is the best version I've heard (but I'm not sure I've heard June Tabor's).The narrative is excellent( no doubt tidied up by Sir Walter Scott!) and so is the tune (which always reminds me of a famous classical piece), and there is an odd, but very singable chorus;- |
