I heard the Bard of Cornwall (Jesse) singing this beautiful song on YouTube (he's well worth a watch, has a lovely baritone voice). When I researched the song, I found that it was a regular for Christy Moore and has been for years.

I think it's really beautiful, a wistful ballad that goes well with a gently finger-picked guitar.

I feel that I'm the last to know about it - you know, everyone in the world knows about it but you.

Anyone else 'discover' lovely folk songs the everyman and his dog knew about . . . but you?
