GUEST,kenny Lyr Add: Invitation to a Funeral (28) RE: Lyr Add: Invitation to a Funeral 30 Sep 15


Haven't heard that version guest, but I'm surprised no-one here has mentioned the version by Jimmy Crowley of Cork, who recorded it I would think in the late 1970s, and was the first person I heard singing it. I'm fairly certain that he was the source of the song for Alistair Russell, and also Martin Carthy, whom I remember hearing sing it at Aberdeen Folk Club, maybe about 20 years ago.
