Oh, my...some birthday wish there *grin*

Which verse?

"O, woe betide the willow wand,
And woe betide the bush and briar For they broke beneath my true-love's hand,
When strength did fail and limbs did tire..."
AND MANY MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE...

er, it just doesn't scan. *grin*

great song, though!

Some fella this Nic Jones! Maybe I'm giving away my antiquity, but Nic Guested at our club in Hexham once or twice 'way, 'way back in the sixties [last century!!]. Besides the back-and-forth badinage about Rabbie Burns, two things stick in my memory; one was his rendition of " Barbara Allen"---the closest version to the Scottish one that I'd heard. The other was my first time of hearing , from any artiste, "the Lochmaben Harper". [Don't ask me for lyrics!] Quite a repertoire, quite a personality, quite a voice. Boab

Lochmaben Harper is here - both Martin Carthy's and the Mudcat's versions.
