Hornpipe | 10 of the Most Disturbing Folk Songs - BBC (87* d) | RE: 10 of the Most Disturbing Folk Songs - BBC | 02 Dec 21 |
I think Martin Carthy’s “Famous Flower of Serving Men” has got to be on the list of disturbing folk songs. The graphic description of being burned alive has always seemed particularly horrific to me. I remember the first time I heard Martin sing it when I had no idea what was coming next and actually feeling nauseous by the end. (In a good way of course!) |
