MacColl wrote the song in 1964 for the Radio Ballad, 'The Travelling People'.
It was included in the programme in fragmentary form, also on the Decca record 'The World of Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger, Vol. 2' and 'Freeborn Man' (Blackthorn Records).
Recorded by numerous other singers (particularly popular in Ireland, though ironically, the Travellers aren't).
