I used to play this one around Sydney while involved in an all too brief musical partnership with the late Gill Rees about 35 years ago. In F# minor if you please! Luckily, I owned an anglo concertina in A/E, so wasn't too bad to play. From memory, I think Gill used a capo on the first fret, and played a lot of open strings which gave the song quite a haunting effect. (Sorry, I'm no guitarist, so I could be talking rot in this last sentence...and it was a long time ago!) Thank you for the thread; brought back good memories.
