Hutch Origins: The Unquiet Grave (Cold Blows the Wind) (23) The Unquiet Grave 30 May 97


A beautiful folk song is the Unquiet Grave, wherein a young man remains by the grave of his loved one until the ghost tells him to go and get a life. The tune is particularly beatiful, and can be found in a rather stayed version in the English Hymnal under the name Kingsfold.

Could anyone provide me with any version of the words that they know, and suggest any other tunes it may have been set to. Also any history, what part of England does it come from?
