Indeed... there are versions of the tune I like better, but this ballad has many, many treatments. I know Anna & Elizabeth personally, and I know how they try to balance the length of the version with the artwork.
(I have 3 versions of Shirley Collins singing it, with & without other voices on the chorus, and I agree it is well done.)
