GUEST,Nicko Cursed are they who blackened the land (3) Cursed are they who blackened the land 27 May 12


I got talking to a stranger late one night recently, and he sang a folk song which sounded a bit biblical, definitely a hymn sort of feel to it... The lyrics were along the lines of 'cursed be them who blacken the earth' and lts of other people etc who were cursed. It was a really dark song about the effects ofindustrialisation, or perhaps the effect of human beings on each other and on the land. Can anyone identify this song? It sounded like it was english, probably hundreds of years old. Thanks. Nicko.
